I suspect these baby American Robins question the decision of their parents to construct a nest in the ceiling of my covered patio. Their young lives have been bombarded by my constant use of the barbecue, Jimmy Buffett music, active grandchildren, noisy conversation during Happy Hour, clouds of cigar smoke, and 30 degree heat. Perhaps the tough start will make them stronger when they leave the "comfort" of the nest. Or perhaps they will become neurotic robins.
