Last week while our friend Eric stopped over for a bit, we noticed a robin building a nest in one of our birch trees. He commented that she looked like a jumbo jet trying to land. The nest was built, and then she was gone for a few days. I was thinking, what a waste of time! But this morning I looked up and noticed she was there. And not moving to nest. She left for a few moments, I ran onto the deck to look into the nest and noticed a couple eggs. I guess robins lay an egg a day, usually stopping at four eggs. So a couple more should still be coming. And while it may not be a bunny or deer, I am pretty happy to have new birds to fuel my wildlife obsession. I'm pretty excited.
