Robins

When we first arrived at our apartment here, we discovered a birds nest on our back porch lamp. We have been delighted twice now to find it occupied by little robin families.
The other day I found these three eggs in it, although a 4th egg followed shortly.
Here are the brand new baby robins, fresh out of the egg! It is amazing to watch the parents swoop in to feed the babies. The tiny robins stretch their necks up as far as they will go and cheep furiously for the rights to the first worm.
Speaking of wildlife, we found this guy while washing our car. He was sleeping contentedly when our little Logan decided to investigate. Luckily I saw what was going on and grabbed hold of Logan, or I don't know who would have gotten the bigger surprise, Logan or the possum.

We found an opposum in our trash can once! We had to have Anna Rhodes come and get it out for us... she was so brave! :)

We think Logan could have held his own but running should be his first option.

You have awesome wildlife - we have scary stuff like rats and skunks. So cool you caugt this on your camera. We actually did have an opposum outside our apartment once ,I remember Tammy Hansen standing on teh straight being too afraid to walk in the etnrance. And I think all your family trips are awesome - so lucky to be so close to everything.
