Aidan was outside this evening when she noticed a robin fluttering around our little blue spruce tree.
She investigated and found a nest with four eggs near the trunk, about four feet off the ground. This doesn’t seem like a logical location for a nest. With roaming cats, squirrels, raccoons, and four-year-old boys with frisbees, I am not optimistic the gorgeous eggs with their tender cargo will survive long.
I hope they do.
A blue spruce branch. The tree is only about six feet tall:
I literally gasped when I saw the color of the eggs. Astonishing.
Wow, stunning!
It’s like a kiss from God. Beautiful doesn’t describe them!
They really are beautiful. I would love to understand someday the logic behind nest building for animals. When we had three dogs, a mama bunny would nest smack dab in the middle of our back yard where the dogs always were. I don’t get it…

They really are beautiful. They make me want to go out for a nature walk and see what we can find.
I hope they last a long time and manage to be free of frisbees.

Those eggs are absolutely beautiful! I think that would make the most wonderful paint color….

We have a robin that built a nest in our back yard and has lived there for a few years now. I think there must be eggs in the nest because she comes back to her nest even when we are sitting very close to it. I can’t see into it though. I need to just stick my camera up there to figure it out.
My sister recently found a broken robins egg and said the color was just amazing… thanks for the pictures and a little peek at God’s handwork…
