I couldn't wait a whole week to share my news with you. There have been some little changes in the nests in our yard that I thought you would be curious about.
First, look at the nest in the willow tree to see if you can find the momma robin. You can click on the picture to make it really big so you can see better. Only her tail feathers stick out of the nest. I thought that was neat.
Remember Friday afternoon we only found one little egg in the nest in the tree?
Monday I took another picture and found two eggs! I'll keep watching. Maybe there will be more yet.
Oh, another thing, in the nest on the porch light there are four eggs. I have taken several pictures of them so that I will know when they hatch. After viewing the pictures I noticed something really strange going on.
Look at each picture of the four eggs.
Notice how the eggs are in different positions in each picture?
How do you think they are moving around? I haven't touched them and Puppa hasn't touched them. I haven't even let Noah get close to them! So how are they moving around?
I had to call Nana the Great. Nana says that the mother bird rolls the eggs around. I guess so that they get done "over easy" or maybe it's so that the porch light doesn't cook the little baby's left wing to it's beak.
P.S. Are you sure you don't want me to scramble the eggs for your breakfast one day? If so, we should probably do it pretty soon or they may taste a little feathery. Eeeeewww! Ha ha
You and your family have a wonderful week!
Love,
Ms. Carol
