PLAYING WITH DAD 

Thanks for sharing. We might be seeing some baby chipmunks sometime soon. The robins which return every year are still feeding the first three which hatched about 3 weeks ago but as if that's not enough to keep them busy, they built another nest and there are 4 eggs in it. Sometimes the eggs in the 2nd batch aren't fertilized and the nest is abandoned. That's what happened with the nest of 8 eggs which the mallard ducks had made under a fir tree in the front yard. The female had done a good job of trying to incubate the eggs for some time and she was not happy that they were "no good". She actually pushed each of them out of the nest and cracked them with her bill.
