Spring is Here...

I have been infuriated by a Robin that has been pooping all over our deck and patio furniture for weeks now. It would sit on our patio table, stare into the kitchen, poop, swoop down, steal a piece of our doormat then fly away. Then, on Sunday, I walked outside only to be frightened by this same Robin swiftly flying away from me just feet away. I looked up where it flew from and found a perfect nest built on top of our shelves inside the basket we keep our painting supplies in. And inside were 2 blue Robin's eggs...then today we checked and there were 3. I have forgiven the mother bird now. We can't wait to hear the new baby birds chirp!

There must be something about the Johnsons...as we have a robin building a nest on our back light again this year. Maybe they know you all are softies for baby birds :) - Valerie

In Wyoming we didn't have Blue Jays or Cardinals...but we did have Robins, so the grandpa really likes the idea of having a Robin's nest to watch. Aren't those incredible blue eggs for kids to sdd?
