Success! We kept the baby bird safe and fed all night. Luckily, per our internet research, baby birds only eat from sun up to sun down...not during the night. Jacob asked me to wake him at 5AM to check on the bird. He decided that it was still to dark and there were no birds chirping yet outside, so we'd try again at 6AM. By then it was light, birds were chirping and our little guy was hungry. We fed him a few morsels of crushed rabbit pellets with water, and put him back out under the nest. Right away the mama started chirping and the baby answered back. From the house, we watched her feed him several times.
Then, Jacob spotted (pun intended) the fawn that we hadn't seen for over a week. Between the baby robin, the spotted fawn, and watching our friend feed baby mice to their "yard pet" garter snakes (gross...I did NOT watch!), these have been great homeschool science lessons that I did not have to prepare! Woohoo!
