Paul discovered this nest in one of my hanging baskets while I was away. It had been empty, but recently it became home to some potential, future wildlife. (And, for those who don’t know, these are robin eggs – they are very recognizable because of their beautiful blue color and, in this situation, the very upset robins yelling at me every time I get near the nest).

Cool. The eggs looks pretty.

They are beautiful eggs – I think every kid in the Midwest here brings robin egg shells home at some point (usually to be yelled at for picking up germs by doing so).

I’m keeping an eye out – after this, the robin laid another egg, so we have several chances. I’ll take a look tomorrow morning and see what I find.

Wow! It is really blue! I used to think it was only blue in the cartoons. I love the nature that surrounds you. You are lucky. I live in a concrete jungle LOL!

Yes, “robin egg blue” is definitely a true-to-life color!
And you’ve found some nature in your concrete jungle – and some is better than none!

It’s a good place for a nest – no one in our house is going to disturb it, and it is difficult for an animal to get up there. Barring some disaster, we should have chicks soon!

How wonderful. We’ve put up a robin nesting box as well as a tit box, so hope to have some takers next season when they’ve lost their ‘human smell’

Ours were apparently just fine with human smell – I have to water that plant every couple days, so it has definitely gotten some human bumps and touches.

Eggs are so pretty & nests are amazing…..A Robin at my daughters’ built a nest in a kiwi plant that is vined all over the deck…Robin layed 5 eggs…4 hatched….my daughter got some wonderful photos…..they enjoyed watching the worms being brought to the babies & the Robin chasing a chipmunk & a vole, on the ground, when they got too close to the nest.

Back in Indiana, I had a nest on a fence post. It wasn’t the best location for a nest, and I’m pretty sure the raccoons got into it. This is a much better location, so I’m hoping to see some babies soon!

Bird’s nests are so interesting to me. How they manage to weave the materials together with just their beak amazes me. Have me try that, even using my hands, and I’m sure it wouldn’t turn out half as nice. Lovely eggs too. Hope they hatch soon and you get to watch them grow.

I’m going to check tomorrow morning and see what I find – I’m hoping it will be three chicks (they laid another egg after I took this picture).

Aw, sweet things to come! (I’m glad Schooner is an indoor cat!)
By the way, I have a new kitten that I think has S’s genes…a tiger full of beans that loves to scratch and bite – yikes, gotta train that out pronto!)

Good luck! I am still working on getting all the biting and scratching out (though in Schooner’s defense, he is MUCH better than he once was). The kitten is adorable, by the way!

Thanks! I learned that if they are taken from their mother too young, the no bite/scratch lesson doesn’t get learned. I sure hope I can rectify that!

Interesting – I always just chalked it up to Schooner being a barn cat.

Very Nice Sarah. Love the blue color of the eggs. . My mother bird in the front hitch of my RV is still there since Easter! She has given birth to 4 baby birds initially on Terry’s BD, then 2 more after that horrible car accident on Bayshore Blvd in Tampa, now she is getting ready to lay more eggs and give new life again. It is amazing that she doesn’t want to leave. I think Terry’s spirit wants her to stay there to give me company and to watch over me. Don’t know what I’ll do if she is still there when I have to leave the RV for 1 month on 1 Sep 18?

It really is Terry there to keep an eye on you – and send out many other birds to keep an eye on you wherever you may go.
As for the nest, here’s hoping she is gone by the time you have to leave. Perhaps if you put the nest somewhere safe and nearby, she would be OK if she hasn’t left by then.
