How was I to know that the day I took this picture was their last? Maybe I worried them and hastened their flight. But I don't think so because those robin parents were so diligent and took such excellent care of their young. They wouldn't have done anything wrong. Look at that sturdy nest. They made a point of following me with my garden chores as I was digging in the compost pile. I know that every time I took a load away they swooped in to get the fat worms.
