Sunday's Treasure


We found treasure in the yard today!!!  There are four eggs, only 3 can be seen in this photo.
Incredible color!!



This nest is right outside my bedroom window in some tall climbing roses.  The robins have returned to this nest I believe this is the 3rd year.

Do robins return to the same nest?  Or do other robins use nests that are already existant that they find?

I am not sure which it is but we have had this nest in the roses for about 3 years and every year it is used. We have seen eggs in the nest in past years.  We have not ever been able to see the birds take flight from this nest.
 Maybe this year!!!


What percentage of robin eggs hatch to produce healthy young, that take flight and survive?



 We did find a baby robin that didn't survive one year on the grass below this nest.
