A visitor in the wood shop
 
found this yesterday, checked again today and now it has 3 little blue eggs. if a nest has eggs, it gets to stay until the little ones are out of there.

that's walnut, about 12" square at present. wonder how it's going to look. :ohnoes::DAB:

I hope the mother robin comes back to sit on the eggs while you start coming in and out of the shop. Sometimes they'll get spooked and not come back.:(

Wife feels kinda sad in that mommy/daddy not coming back to that nest with you around....oh well.......we delayed moving a Stag Horn Fern from the back overhang where a nest was until the one surviving bird has hopefully flown the coop, and so it's out front this AM.....empty nest for a few daze.....

:issues:

Very :cool1:

I have a family that nests in a hole on the gable end of my barn.
I look forward, every year, to seeing the babys drop and take off.

there are normally other nests in the rafters, because the little buggers poop all over my wood stored below them. :issues: eh, it cleans/sands off.

Don't cook them, raw eggs have higher protein.

:iagree: Drop em' in a glass of whiskey and down the hatch. :D :cert:

My father in law Timyo would wait for momma bird to come back and cook her, with a side dish of soup with the eggs in it.

And I'm not kidding.. :yesnod:

He gets small birds like a sparrow with a sling shot sometimes and cooks them up like a little bitty chicken.

Hardly worth all the work for such a few small bites if you ask me.
