Know Anything About Robins?
I found a baby robin in the yard just a little while ago. Well, actually, the dogs found her but thankfully, they didn't touch her (anyone hear me holler?
 ). She was just inside the fence from the woods. She ran from the dogs but couldn't fly. I got the fuzzbutts into the small yard and when I returned to her, she ran through the fencing into the front yard. She's about 200+ feet from the woods where I can hear her momma (or daddy?) and she's cheeping. I was hoping to get close enough to pick her up and take her back to the woods but she runs from me even further so I stopped. What are the chances of her family finding her or her finding her way back home?

Oh so that was you hollering eh? I could hear you all the way down here!
 I would think that momma would scoop her up once the presence of human/animal danger was clear. Perhaps you could do a scope around the perimeter tomorrow but I'm sure you'll see no unfortunate findings.

as soon as you leave the area the parents will scoop down and lead the baby into the bush, I have 2 fledgling mourning doves in the yard, one was sick from heat exhaustion and I brought him inside to cool him down and get some liquid into him, put him back with his sibling and within 30 minutes the parents were back feeding them and taking them into the field

mom and dad are always watching their babies, unless sometimes it is sick and or injured, but then in some cases, i have even seen them protecting their fledglings. Mom and dad will guide the fledgling back to it's spot, if needed.
a Robin or thrush, as they are called as well. males have the black heads, while the females have lighter heads.

Once they fledge, the Wide World becomes their home, LP.
 Mom and Pop will find her and still feed her till she learns the ropes.

I didn't go back out last night looking for her out of fear she'd try to get further away. The dogs were only allowed access to the smaller run until I could be sure this morning that she wasn't in the big yard. I hope momma and papa found her as she was no where to be seen
