It was such a treat to see Freya open her cute little eyes:
This was the start of a whole new world for her. I couldn’t believe how quickly she was growing. It’s amazing to think she was hours away from death and now she’s thriving.
Her sister, Abby, made sure that she was safe in her cage at night:
She slept like a little angel.
It’s like she was getting cuter by the day.
I still can’t believe how much work goes into raising such a tiny little thing. Constant feedings and poop disposal – I don’t know how mother robins do it!
We were quite disappointed about the cloud cover today, knowing we would likely not get to see the eclipse. I took my mother up for a flight around Niagara and over Niagara Falls, around 2:00. It certainly wasn’t the chaos they were expecting. I feel bad for the folks who came from across Canada and the States to see it in Niagara. If only the weather was as perfect as it was this weekend. As you can see in this pic, the parking lots weren’t full and there wasn’t much traffic (around 2:00pm):
It was still awesome to go flying today. Once back, my mother and I went to Sunset Beach, along with over a hundred other folks, hoping to get just a glimpse of the eclipse. The clouds parted enough to give us a couple views for about three seconds. Everyone cheered and it was so neat to experience the ambience and excitement.
Today’s symptoms: I actually felt pretty decent today. The fatigue didn’t really set in until later in the afternoon, which was nice for a change. Paws crossed this continues throughout the week!

Lizzy, it’s always fun to read your posts and it’s super cool that you got to head up in the air on Monday for a flight. Stella and I caught a glimpse of the total eclipse, cloudy as it was, before heading to HER VERY FIRST CONCERT – Connor Price! We had an amazing time and I am sure that she can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Great job raising little Freya and nurturing her into the very healthy & tv watching robin that she is today. You and Mike must be proud! I am still so amazed at how all of your animals function so well together – perhaps a little lesson for us all!
Looking forward to you and Stella flying again soon. As always, thanks for being such a positive role model and for teaching her to fly. She always has fun hanging out with you!

I was so happy to hear Stella had a fabulous time at her first concert!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I’m so happy to have Stella (and you!) in my life.
