ssMaking good use of a whitetail skull!

I decided Saturday would be a good day to clean up some old deer skulls I had hanging in the rafters of my turkey shed. I found a robbin had already been making use of one of them so decided to put the project off for awhile. I guess she had a better use for them anyway!

That's awesome. Can't complain about that use!

I figured an update was due on the robbins. 2 babies about ready to leave the nest. Amazing that 2 weeks ago the eggs weren't hatched yet.

I found another robbin nest with 5 eggs starting to hatch in a different shed today.

That is a very good use for them! Love the photos..

Another photo I recently took of a Killdeer nest alongside Gilmore Creek on my Dad's farm.

I took another peek today at the 2nd nest and the babies doubled in size in the last two days. Only 3 babies left, so the others must not have made it out of the shell. The antler nest babies have already flown the coupe.

They threw out the little guy! Down to two babies and they have doubled in size in the last 2 days yet again!

The robbins at 6 days old. I decided to get photos every 2 days if I can remember. Cool to see the rapid growth on the little buggers!

Here are the robbins at 9 days.

The old robbin nest has fallen on hard times with the heavy rains blowing in. The nest was saturated and tipping over when I went to check tonight. Only one robbin baby left at 14 days. I propped the nest up with a post so he could atleast sit flat in it.
