Bird Update

Our birds on the arbor above the garage are gone.  The mourning dove left about a couple of weeks ago and the robin left about a week ago.  I got the ladder out this weekend and checked in the nests and they were empty - no eggs.

This week though when we were playing catch in the back yard, I notice a bunch of straw below our purple plum tree.  It took a minute, but we discovered a new nest in the tree.

I held my cell phone up and got a picture of the inside of the nest since there was no bird around.

And no egg.

Yesterday Carter said he saw a robin fly out of the tree so I took another picture of the inside of the nest and found this beautiful egg ...

We saw the robin sitting on her nest today.  We are going to try to leave her alone as much as possible and hope we have a baby bird in a couple of weeks!
