Great photos of some great wildlife, both plant and animal!

A robin built a nest in the euonymous shrub just outside my front door this spring and was rearing a batch of hatchlings until about 11pm Friday night at which time something attacked her nest. I am assuming it was a neighbor's free-roaming cat, but I can't be sure. I was watching television when the chicks began to tweetscream as the mother frantically chirped and flew in circles right outside my kitchen window. I had been feeding her strawberries during the incubation period, and I almost wonder now if she was calling for my help on the night of her tragedy. I went out immediately to investigate, but the nest was destroyed and the chicks were already dead. Mama robin stayed up in a nearby tree for the remainder of that night calling out in distress.
