Pruning must now wait

I was planning to start pruning this Rhododendron yesterday but noticed a bird's nest. After waiting for the nest to be left alone by both parents, I quietly approached the bush and looked inside the nest and saw these two lovely little Robin's eggs. I guess that Mother Nature is giving me a yard maintenance break. I have plenty other tasks that can be done while these little ones hatch and leave the nest.

Such a beautiful find and colour, amazing that you could capture it like this.

Yup. Robins eggs are way more important than yard work! Such beautiful color

[JackieR]

So bright blue! Hope they hatch and fledge

It's good that you noticed. I hope their parents won't abandon them.

How exciting. Looking forward to seeing their progress. What a lovely bold colour the eggs are

@ludwigsdiana @aikiuser @30pics4jackiesdiamond @haskar @onewing @joansmor @photohoot @marlboromaam @gardencat Thank you so much. I thought that maybe this was a Towhee (I have spottted them in my yard) bird's nest since the female's coloring is similar to the Robin but the color of the egg indicates definitely a Robin.

A precious discovery!

@corinnec Most definitely, Mama bird is resting on the eggs nicely today

Wonderful discovery--and much nicer than pruning Rhododendrons.

Beautiful capture. Definitely worth waiting.

Lovely image. We’ve had the same “problem” with our honeysuckle. Can’t fight with Mother Nature!
