Hello y'all! I just joined and I apologize if I'm not in the correct forum.. there's so much on here and I'm lost, lol. Our weather forecast is showing very heavy rains beginning tomorrow and lasting until the next day. I've got an American Robins nest with 3 babies in a small tree on the corner of my house. I believe they opened their eyes this morning, so that would make them maybe 5 or 6 days old? The mama Robin takes good care of them.. but I'm worried about that storm coming in and they aren't covered well. I have looked around online and I'm not finding anything about if nestlings will be okay in heavy, pouring rain for what could be 12 to 24 hours. This is my first time observing a nest in my yard and I'm worried. Am I being a worry wart for nothing? I'm hoping this isn't mama Robin's first rodeo. Thanks for any comments or thoughts on this matter. Again.. so sorry if this is not the correct forum. Please direct me to the correct one if you don't mind. Thanks!
