Backyard Robins’ Eggs

May 3, 2012

The Chief found a robin’s egg in the backyard .

It was on the ground and cold so we assumed the baby bird inside was already dead.

It fell out of a nest in a tree only about 6ft tall so The Chief was able to get a good look. There were no birds or eggs inside.

It’s pretty impressive. We recognized most of the material the bird used from our backyard, like balloon strings from past parties.

Here’s an eggshell we found underneath a different nest in our yard. I assume the bird successfully hatched out or the neighborhood squirrels got ahold of it. Stupid furry bullies

This must be robin baby-making season because later that day on our bike ride, we spotted LOTS of these little blue eggs scattered on the ground in the wooded areas of our neighborhood.
