Little treasures hiding behind the foliage of our deck

For several days, Mama Robin kept going back and forth with worms, and we stayed away. Early one morning (still dark), Kim and I woke to the loud, angry chirping of birds. Kim rushed out and almost stepped on one of the baby robins. Apparently Mama Robin had decided it was time for her babies to leave the nest. A cat slunk nearby, stalking the babies, and the adult birds were putting up a fuss to keep it away. Kim scared the cat away, and all was at peace. Later that morning the nest was empty.
