THE REMAINS OF THE EGG

evidence of an inexperienced robin, which built a flimsy nest under the deck. the yolk was still wet when i found the remains of the egg in the morning.

Poor Mr. & Mrs. Robin will have to start again. A pair in our garden lost their baby to a cat last week. So sad. A storm blew their nest down to a low branch...making it easy for the cats to get to. I tried to save it, but to no avail. It needed a 'round the clock guard.

thanks for the comment. yes, the whole baby bird thing can be kind of sad! but these new nests are probably from the young of the original robin, showing some success!
