The birdies have hatched!!! I've found out that these are little baby Robins. So far it looks like there are three of them and one of the eggs hasn't hatched yet... it might be a dud but hopefully it hatches soon. The mamma bird is getting really protective now. Whenever we get too close she flies away but lands on a branch of a tree across the yard and watches us till we get far enough away that she'll come back.

We have a cute little birds nest in the little tree on the side of our house. This bird family built their nest right at eye level (to me) and there's four little blue eggs waiting to hatch inside. I haven't been able to get a picture of the mamma bird sitting on the the eggs cause whenever I walk outside she flies away. I can't wait till the eggs hatch so the kids can see the little birdies. We'll have to keep a good eye on them to make sure they grow up into big strong birdies.

I am posting some more pictures I took of the Missouri Ice Storm in January 2007. I converted my blog over to the new Google Blogger and it has edited all my pictures below and cropped em off. So here's some new ones. I am proud to say that the local newspaper printed a full page of my pictures in the latest issue! I love taking pictures and it was really cool to have someone acknowledge them. I hope you enjoy them too.
