Excellent image Trish, i could almost hear the babies chirping.#2: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Feb 5, 2011
Oh Spring - can't wait to see you again. Lovely puzzle Trish. I have missed you#3: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Feb 5, 2011
I've been around. Just not particularly creative right now.#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 5, 2011
nice image#5: Beth (shasta) on Feb 5, 2011
Very nice puzzle. It took me a long time to get the mommy.#6: Wombat (wombatilim) on Feb 5, 2011 [HINT]
This was tricky to solve at the end. 3/4 of the puzzle solves easily with line & color logic, and then you have a corner of the puzzle that's still unsolved and not obvious.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 5, 2011 [SPOILER]
I wound up making sure all of the totally used numbers were marked around the edge, and then I could see where the remaining red 2s needed to go with some edge & two-way logic. The rest solves nicely until the last few squares, which can be solved with (sideways) smile logic.

Such a lovely image, Trish. The solve was tricky but very fun, no guessing.#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Dec 19, 2017
The image is a little odd and very sweet. Enjoyable solve.#10: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Aug 10, 2019
Lovely. Very clever image. Fun solve.#11: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Jan 24, 2023
Enjoyed the solve...had to do trial and error in the end but it worked out. Thanks!#12: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jan 24, 2023 [HINT]
Turns out this is even less complicated than my 2011 (!) hint would imply.#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 24, 2023
R7: whichever way the last 2 goes, R8C25 is black. From here the line & color logic gets you almost done, then smile logic to finish.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#14: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 7, 2023
The American Robin is the state bird of Connecticut.
The state animal is the whale.
I don't know why that's funny.
