Nature's choices

Nature keeps the numbers under control.

This beautiful scene was in the tree next to my deck.  The excitement of having a clutch of robins hatching close to me seemed like a dream come true.  I watched the nest for many days and saw one robin replace the other on the nest taking turns to find nourishment for themselves and get a little exercise.

One day, I noticed no activity at the nest.  The next day the same and the next day more inactivity.

Too bad, Mother Nature had something different in mind.  Did a squirrel rob the eggs?  Probably so. Nature promotes the survival of the fittest... Life, any life, on life's terms requires acceptance.
