This poor robin has had quite a summer. She laid her eggs in the spruce tree and when the babies were about a week old - a hawk decided to have them for lunch. She laid another set of eggs and this one she managed to keep one chick. Then she moved to the hazelnut bush and built another nest and the hawk came back for another meal of robin chicks. Thankfully the other robins in my yard were a little more successful in getting their chicks hatched and fledged and hopefully to return next season.
