Flight Check

The last of three robins to leave the nest.



A couple of seconds after I snapped this pic...it took flight!
Yay...we can let the dog back out on the patio.

More birds are flying @ World Bird Wednesday  - go take a look or join in!

    They look just like the Blackbirds I had nesting outside my front door a couple of years ago.
