The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I've begun a new series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.

Another summer has flown, as have these baby robins.
Their parents built the nest in the cross vine (bignonia) on our fence. We loved watching all the deliveries of insects and earth worms. A key to habitat gardening is planting as many natives as possible. This cross vine was purchased from Mary Ann King of Pine Ridge Gardens when it wasn't much more than a twig.

Marci, your photography of the babies and their nest is just beautiful. National Geographic should be calling you. What a treat to be able to watch these little beings grow and thrive!
