I noticed the leaves on my bushes were getting dried out and brittle.  In years past I remember this being an early sign of a white-fly infestation; so, I broke out the chemicals and decided to spray the bushes for white-flies, the foundation for ants, and the trees in the yard for canker worms.

While I was spraying the bushes, I noticed some movement within.  I stopped and peeked in past the outside leaves and saw three baby robins in a nest.  Boy, did I feel bad about just spraying the bushes!  Needless to say I stopped spraying that bush but continued to finish the task I had started.

When I was done, I got my camera and took the above footage.  Actually, I set it up on a tripod and let it run for thirty minutes to capture the three feedings.

I always wondered why when you found a birds nest it wasn’t completely covered in baby bird poop.  Now I know why and, if you watch the video closely, you’ll know why too.

Fair warning: you don’t want to be eating vanilla ice cream while watching the above footage.
