A few days ago, as I was eating my cheerios in the morning, I noticed a robin flying in and out from under our patio roof-line. It was clear that she was building a nest. I mentioned it to John, and we decided we would let her be and remove the nest when all the babies fledged. On my way to work I had the brilliant idea that we should livestream the nest and post it here so everyone could enjoy our baby birds! I pitched the idea to John who said "I may or may not have removed the nest this morning." I knew it (he would do something like that)! I was bummed, but I got over it.
Well, what do you know? The robin wasn't entirely discouraged by the small nesting set-back, and over the last 2 days has build this beauty!
Now, I need everyone to chime in and encourage my hubby to help me set up the webcam... he's not as excited about the idea as I am. We only have a few days to do it, too. According to my research a Robin lays an egg a day until she gets to 4. Then she roosts for 2 weeks, during which time we should not disturb her. Assuming she lays her first egg either today or tomorrow, we only have until Sunday or Monday to mount a camera.
