Wordless Wednesday: Mama Robins are Tough

I would have given anything to keep her little.

They outgrow us so much faster than we outgrow them.

― Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper

 

Less than a month passed, from discovery of the robin’s eggs to keeping the dogs inside while the fledglings learned to fly.

Mama Robins have it tough, man. I know I wasn’t ready to see them fly the nest yet.

They get so big so fast….
