As time progressed, Pemberley became accustomed to us coming and going, but we felt that as her gestation period got closer, we did not want to interrupt her and have been using our back door to come in and out of the house.
Seeing our children’s excitement over our new visitor and her clutch, we decided to hang a small (non-intrusive) camera in the wreath to capture and live stream one of life’s little miracles as Pemberley and her new baby chicks enter the world. We hope you will join us each day as together we follow along in the diary of a bird named Pemberley.
(perhaps she was attracted to the faux nest I had used to decorate?)
Progression of eggs laid. The first egg was laid April 20th, the second on April 21st. We missed the third egg but Robins lay their eggs one day apart. Finally her clutch was complete with her fourth egg laid on April 23rd.
Which brings us to today. We have the camera set-up to live stream as much of Pemberley’s happenings everyday for the next several weeks. The eggs hatching…feedings…learning to fly. We hope to capture as much of it as possible, so please make sure you tune in daily to watch and spread the word so others can watch along and experience nature from a bird’s eye view.
We estimate the eggs are not due to hatch for several days, but you can watch as Pemberley guards over her nest, lovingly flipping her eggs with her beak to ensure the eggs temperature is even throughout and the little ones hatch full of health. Nature is truly amazing.
much love,
This will be fun! Thanks for sharing!
This is so fascinating to watch thank you!
We’re experiencing a similar miracle with a cardinal’s nest right outside our front door, inside the yew tree. Her babies have hatched and it’s so precious to see their little mouths open in the air, waiting for mama to feed them. We’re not getting too close either, as we don’t want her to abandon her babies. I love spring!

our Robin work’s so hard and built a nest very low in a tree crack, she laid and egg that egg the next day was on the ground But a couple of days later she had 3 more. that night a raccoon or something got all 3 eggs, poor robin but they can lay up to 3 times a season. we have seen them..
That’s amazing! I homeschool my kids and my daughter did a project on the American Robin after reading ‘The Secret Garden’. lovely story! Thank you for sharing this!
SO sweet!
Several years ago, we had the very same thing happen! It was so sweet and I definitely kept the wreath with the nest intact.
If you watch closely, you will see the male and female work together in perfect harmony…from building the nest to feeding the babies. Yes, papa robin feeds and protects them, too! You not only had a Pemberley but also a Pemberton. 🙂
We had 5 chicks and watched them grow into adorable little fledglings and actually witnessed them flying (flopping?) from the nest. Ma and Pa Robin kept a close eye on them for a few days and we heard their chirping around the yard.
The best thing? The chicks hatched on mother’s day!
Thanks for sharing. I lost my fantastic pics due to a non-backed-up computer crash.
Oh Lucy – what a wonderful spring gift to have Pemberley build her nest on your wreath. It’s just so perfectly fitting. Your kids must be so excited to watch and wait for the baby birds.
They hatched!! Yay! I shared your link on my facebook page, it’s wonderful!

I do love watching TV, but not about nature, obviously. I prefer sports, although it takes place in picturesque places at time. But in cold weather like now, I simply cannot drag myself out of my home with a fireplace. So I watch livetv696.me and often try to catch live streams of the most topical matches. But I will try to find your stream some time too.
