Day 3, Cradeling the Egg

What will they say? "Heck, I remember when you were nothing but a hard brown oval. We helped to keep you warm."?

[Cathy Donohoue]

They are kind of creepy without the pretty feathers.
Thanks for the up close and personal here.

[Tara]

Great detail - I love Robin eggs. They are so pretty!

[Kathy Burzynski]

Wow, how did you ever manage to get this wonderful capture???
Fantastic

[Shirley Banford]

Awesome find. Beautiful shot.

@cdonohoue @tara11 @sabanford
Shirley, Tara and Cathy,
Thanks for the kind words. After a weekend trip to NYC this weekend things should get hectic: in addition to the robins, the monarchs have stopped eating and some are hanging upside down. Stay tuned.

@myhrhelper
Kathy, Thanks for taking the time to view and comment. As to "how I managed", check out earlier posts on the robins. "I get by with a little help from my friends." L & M

[Rob Crosby]

@carolmw
Carol, Mom was actually "out" when I stopped in this a.m. Even so, I limit myself to about 1 min. maximum; half a dozen quick shots, then I leave for the day.

Rob, are these the birds your neighbor is letting you shoot as they grow? That's really neat the way the two hatchlings are cuddling the remaining egg!

[❀ Lynn]

Cool shot..they are not pretty at this stage. Think the egg is a dud, they always hatch together.

[Rob Crosby]

@lyno
Lyn, Yes, the same! Going away for the weekend. Can't wait to see what they look like on Monday. They change so fast.

[Rob Crosby]

@lynnb
I'm wondering about the 3rd egg too. After loosing 2 loon eggs, and 2 loon chicks, I'll settle for 2 out of 3! ;-)

[Sharon Lee]

Gorgeous capture...

[Robin]

Nice capture; I think that egg's a goner. They'll probably toss it out.

[Livia]

They are awesome! I hope they grow up quickly and safely!

[Jill]

Oh my! How sweet!!

[karenann]

Beautiful capture ... they are so vulnerable and fragile!! Won't be long and they'll "leave the nest!" Love the pov and the textures and colors!!
