« Eggstra! Eggstra! »

This past week my household has been suffering throught the sniffles, the chills, the coughs, ear aches, Drs visits and loads of medicine. We are finally beginning to surface for some fresh air. Even our bunny has been sick. It is terrible. What to do when momma is sick and you want to take a sick day form teaching. Impossible, I tell you! Bunny is feeling much better and finally hopping around again and back to nipping me whenever I come near him. My babies are feeling much better now that they are getting clearer heads. It's no fun being sick with spring colds.

We ventured out and discovered a new nest in one of our parkway trees. I let the little ones climb up to take a peek. They were ever so excited and hardly containable. But I explained to them we needed to leave the nest in peace so the momma bird would take good care of the little blue eggs. My little ones run out every chance they get to make sure the momma is sitting perfectly on the little eggs, keeping them warm and snug. I imagine in about two weeks we will hear some chirping out front.

You have no idea how hard it was to obtain this photo . . . stacked recycle bins and stretched arms and loads of luck! And did you know it is unusual for a robin to only lay three eggs! I'm wondering if we peek in there a couple of days from now if there will be another egg?

How cool! Great shot and well worth the effort. We had birds build a nest in the wreath on our front door last year. It was a little tricky coming and going.

[Kristy Life-n-Reflection]

I am so jealous! I've been watching the birds on my mornings walks and haven't seen a nest yet. You're so lucky!!

[Gina]

I am sorry everyone is under the weather!!! Exciting about the eggs- I did not know that about robins. They are so pretty!!!

[Elena]

I think your work to get the picture paid off! What a great capture!

[emily]

High risk = high reward! Great shot...and hope you and your clan feel better real soon!

Fantastic shot, Our baby flew from the nest yesterday It was sad to see them go but excited to see them fly away i have a bird poop free deck again Yay.

We discovered a nest in one of our bushes last week. This week, we've been observing two baby cardinals! Great capture!

Yep...I know how hard it can be just to find a nest with eggs,
much more so to get a WONDERFUL photo.
From another photographer, blogger, momma, and ex-homeschooler
(my youngest is graduating college in 2 weeks).
It's an adventure!

Wow....what a brilliant capture.... be careful not to upset them too much though, specially when they start to sit. It would be a shame to frighten them off from their lovely nest. Although I would be tempted to check back in a couple of week or so and see if there are any little chicks in there.

These eggs are priceless...
Great vivid colors!
I linked up with you after seeing Ellies Blog.
You like me I am sure are respectful of nests, I never questioned that.

Wow that's so cool! Thanks for sharing

[Deborah]

oh fabulous, how lucky you are!
have a nest next door and have been trying to figure out how to photograph it . . . but I think it is going to involve a 7' ladder on a platform of some kind! It's built into an air pipe, near the roof of my neighbors house that overlooks my patio. !

So much fun to see this;) Great that you all can see in it and watch these little ones hatch and grow;)

What an awesome shot! I can remember anxiously waiting for the birds in our front tree to hatch when I was a kid. I still get excited when my mom tells me there's a nest in that front tree.

[Katherines Corner]

Wonderful photo, you certainly had to work for that one giggle, I didn't know that about the eggs. I hope you will keep us posted. Thank you for linking up to the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop Happy weekend wishes! xo

[Meg]

Beautiful shot!

Being sick is definitely no fun.

[Lori]

Perfect photo! We have one on our back porch that I want get a photo of. She has four little eggs in there, but it is so hard to see in the nest.

Thanks for sharing with Foto Friday,

What an amazing shot! Just love it. :-)

[Christa Nolan]

Wow, the color of the eggs is amazing! My nieces would be thrilled to find something like this. What a precious memory.

[Michelle]

Wow, that's an awesome shot. I can only imagine the effort it took to get that photo - too bad that no one was taking a picture of you taking that picture. Now THAT would be a good one :)

[Lauren Johnson]

Great job! I'm featuring your photo at tomorrow's party!

[healthy cat food]

This remembers me of Easter, when kids are on the hunt for those Chocolate eggs to munch.
But this is completely different, wish you have a good time.

[Mei Ann]

What a great shot! A robin is nesting on one of the bushes in our backyard too and I was able to captute one photo while momma birdie was away. Not as clear as your shot though but it made me so happy nonetheless.
