the robin family

for the past week we've been watching a family of robins in our backyard. the mumma has one weak wing - it droops down - so she's recognizable to us. but she can still fly. she has 2 babies. one is older - large and speckled and follows her around the garden squawking for food. it can also fly. but the little one can't and seems so incredibly vulnerable. mostly it hides and cheeps but occassionally we see it sitting in the middle of the yard waiting for it's mumma. it's so hard not to interfere.
