A few weeks ago I noticed that we had a Robin building a nest under the eaves, above our cars. I have been watching it everyday and noticed that it was now spending long periods in the nest. So, I figured that it was safe to say it had laid some eggs.

This week I took this picture of it in the nest and waited until it left; then climbed up on a ladder and took a shot of the inside of the nest and was pleased to see 4 eggs. It will be about 1 week before they hatch and another 2 weeks before they leave the nest.

Today I noticed that one of the Robins was making multiple trips to the nest with food. I don't want to keep disturbing them, so I have not checked to see if the eggs have hatched yet. So, it's either they have or one of the adult Robins is bringing back the food for the other adult that is sitting on the eggs.

Wonderful opportunity Paul!
The "wormy" portrait is hilarious, yet beautifully detailed. I think you'll know when the eggs hatch by the racket that erupts when one of the parents arrives with food. Hope you can keep us up to date.

The eggs most probably have hatched by now. I think third photo is amazing.

Thanks all and I think you are right about the eggs hatching. I will check this weekend and post some images.
