When the weather finally warmed up and we headed outside, we were surprised to find that an enterprising robin built a nest on the swing set. We figured that experiencing the girls first hand would cause her to lay her eggs someplace else, but to our surprise, she laid three eggs over the course of a week. We were very excited to welcome little baby robins in mid-May, but sadly, the eggs disappeared late last week. The girls think that they just hatched and flew away and are keeping a lookout for baby robins (and Lee and I don't have the heart to explain what really happened). It is too bad they won't get to experience the little baby birds, but they enjoyed watching mother bird and her eggs while it lasted.
The girls excitedly counted the eggs each day.
If you look closely, you can see the mommy bird keeping her eggs warm.
