MOTHER'S DAY was a noisy one for a mama robin who built her nest on the gen-erator
of the tractor used to rake in golf balls at the golf driving range across from the
Park Golf Club. Four delicateblue eggs are, in the nest, and Mother Robin does her
hatching stint between trips, returning to the nest when the tractor is parked.
Tractor drivers have been "handling with care" in expectation of the quadruple
blessed event. Park golf course greenskeeper Charles Bolton, shown checking for chicks,

smart enough to use the tractor motor. as a part-time incubator.
