We noticed a large amount of moss and sticks scattered on the front porch several weeks ago, and upon making sure that neither one of us was about to make an art project, we looked up to find several testing nests (ie., nests that were only 1/10 complete). The next day, the selection of nests was reduced to two, and they were getting more built up. By the third day, we saw that one nest was significantly bigger than the other, and more importantly, it had a robin sitting on it.
A couple days later, we got a closer look thanks to some creative mirror wrangling -- there was one lovely blue-green egg was sitting in the nest. Within the next 3 days, there were 4 eggs, which then led to 5-6 days of serious incubation by the robin mother.
Then, robin babies!
