The Robin's Nest...

This spring I had a Robin build her nest on our back porch. I waited until the two babies fledged before I would let anyone use the porch.

After they fledged I went out to remove the nest and reclaim our porch. I saw another nest and decided to remove it as well - thinking I hadn't noticed it since I had been staying off the porch all spring.
The nest had three warm eggs in it. I noticed a fourth egg was smashed on the floor of the porch.

Now I thought we would have the porch back by summer...but I would never want to worry a mother robin away from her nest.
It appears that two of the three eggs hatched.

Mother and father both glare at me if I happen to step out on the porch.

I just hope the nest is empty by the end of the month when we have our family BBQ...
