I had a robin nest in my porch hanging basket the last two years...hoping she comes back this year to do it again. I did what you did...watered carefully...and gave mama her space. She feeds those babies bugs and worms. The best gift you can giver is space and time. I did water my front yard a little more than I normally would so that worms would be easy for her to harvest.

Enjoy every minute.
