He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singing his song

A pair of precious American Robin nestlings in a treetop await their mother’s return with supper on a beautiful late July evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Someday these little nestlings will sing the song God made for the robins to sing … and sing beautifully!
