In a big hurry, and brandishing brand new fuzzy wings, our three little robins left the nest today. Just like that. Not a word of thanks for the use of our window ledge over the last couple of months. No forwarding addresses (they all flew off in different directions). Just an empty and very lonely nest.
My gosh they grow up fast. Two weeks ago they were just beaks with ravenous appetites. Now they have gotten strong and brave and flown away.
I managed to catch a shot of one of them taking it's very first flaps. Seconds after this picture was taken, they were all gone in a flurry of feathers.
