A Bird’s Eye View of Robin Maternity Central
Early yesterday, Jerry climbed up, held a mirror and I snapped this picture. There are four babies who probably hatched only a day or two before we arrived here Wedneday.
“Would the paparazzi please go away?”
“As soon as you’re through snapping your infernal camera, I have this fine meal to take to our babies.”
“Daddy’s home. We can have dinner now.”
Introducing Guy. How do I know this is Guy? Well, looking like that, it can’t be one of the girls, and it surely doesn’t resemble a bear. Must be Guy. R Guy! Look at that hairdo!
From left to right: Carol Esther, Eve and Goodbear singing for their supper.

How cute! Looks like they’re all singing in the last picture!
Jen, they do look as though they’re singing, but so far I haven’t heard a word–I mean chirp–out of them.

A wonderful study in the cycle of life.

It’s been marvelous watching this Mervi.

I love Buxton Robins. Why not hyphenate it and consider that their last name? You know, presenting Mr and Mrs. Buxton-Robins and their neonate triplets, Carol Esther, Eve and Goodbear.
I like that, Helen. Buxton-Robin has quite a nice ring, much like Christopher Robin. Don’t forget Guy, though. The Buxton-Robin’s sired quadruplets.

Your pictures look great, Sister Buxton. I like Helen’s idea too of Buxton-Robins as a last name. It sounds distinguished.
It’s the poet in Helen. I saw she suggested names for your baby doves.

Wow… these are great pictures! I almost feel like I could reach out and touch them!! And I too the name Buxton-Robins!
Hi, Rochelle. I “wasted” the better part of two days watching and photographing those robins. It was a blast–quite a challenge. You should have seen me high on a ladder, eye to eye with mama robin.

I’m not sure about this name thing.
Carol-Esther Buxton-Robins
Oh well, I guess we can live with it.
It’s a very sophisticated, high-sounding name. That baby girl wears it with pride, no doubt.
