Amazing Video!

Lilyann Hall found an abandoned robin egg.  Through her thoughtful and caring efforts she saved the baby bird!  She initially contacted Wildlife Rescue and kept the egg at an appropriate temperature.  Below is a video of the developing baby bird!  Lilyann was able to locate another robin's nest with eggs and slipped her egg in with the others.  The mother bird has so far accepted the egg!  Thank you Lilyann for being such a fantastic steward of our environment!
