Three Robin chicks in nest beg for teh food their parent holds in its beak

#AboutTheKids for #BirdOfTheDay and #RobinDay and maybe even #HolidayRobin for the #solstice-- here's an American Robin parent feeding her hungry chicks in a nest we observed at Malheur Wildlife Refuge, Benson Pond this last May. Did I foget any hashtags? 😍

It's #RobinDay 💚

At the #WinterSolstice, Robin (the new sun) kills his father the Wren (the old sun), and that's now Robin got his red breast, from the blood of his father.
