Robin Eggs - Photo Todd Ratermann |
Robins are often seen in towns looking for food in yards, parks and gardens.
Can sometimes be seen in large roosts of thousands of birds.
The robin's nest and eggs pictured to the right were taken on April 29th
2006. The nest was built in a fence line just a few feet from our garden. It
was a mostly grass nest, built in Japanese Honeysuckle bush. If you look
closely at the back egg pictured above, you can see the very beginning of the
egg starting to be cracked from the inside.

In the photo to the left you can now see the tiny robin's beak is sticking
out of the small hole.
And in the photo below the robin has finally gotten out of his shell and
the female robin has carried the broken egg shell away. It was a pretty
warm day when the eggs were hatching, and the female robin was about 10 feet
away watching from another fence.
