Well, those are robin’s eggs, no doubt about it. Last spring, a pair of them set up a nest in a half-open cable box mounted about 15 feet up on the side of my workplace, right by where I take my smoke breaks. The cable guy always leaves the box open, so I figured it served him right and I was going to leave it, but someone got a ladder and took the nest out maybe a week before they were due to hatch :(

Any Freeper bird lovers know if robins reuse their nests? I had to severely trim back our hedges last summer and when I cleaned up the boughs there were two nests inside.

Not much I can do about it know one way or the other but I am curious.

They look like Robin eggs to me. Enjoy because you don’t have them long. Once the little ones hatch... they seem to grow super fast and leave. The mama bird will take the eggshells (after hatching), fly away with them and drop them away from the nest. My little one looks for the dropped shells every year and keeps them in an old nest. Nature really is beautiful. Thank you for sharing, NYer!!

I wouldn't worry too much about momma Robin being concerned about you opening the blinds. Last year I had a Robin lay eggs in nest in a bush which was about my shoulder height. I would walk past numerous time during the day close enough to observe the eggs or the bird sitting on them.(Had to it was my path to the workshop) After a while she got used to me and would remain on the nest.

One day I came by and the babies which were older by that time were sitting in various parts of the bush. When I came close they all took off flying as if they were born to do it.
