Signs of Spring: Watching the Robins Return

Each spring, we look forward to watching robins return to Wisconsin. It’s a sure sign that warmer days are coming! This year, they surprised us by showing up in late February—quite early! We almost always have at least one robin nest in our yard. After a good rain, they begin gathering mud and grasses to build. It’s incredible to see the process and share the miracle of spring with the children.

A Closer Look at the Life Cycle of a Robin

This spring, a robin built a nest right on the eave near our garage, an ideal location for us to observe without disturbing them. I’ve captured each stage of the robin’s growth in photos:

• The signature blue eggs
• Tiny hatchlings
• Hungry baby birds with open mouths
• Nearly-grown fledglings filling the nest

This sequence showcases the baby robin stages and provides a real-life look at the life cycle of a robin.

It’s amazing how quickly they create their nest and how perfect and beautiful it is.

This Robin Poster From Egg to Bird is a great addition to your spring science center or Bird and Egg preschool theme. We had the opportunity to watch a nest up close so I took photos of the eggs, little hatchlings, baby birds with their mouths open, and then a very full nest! Robins change and grow very quickly!
