HI,
This is a Robin's nest. It had three beautiful eggs in it a few weeks ago. Mom was happily nesting away. I thought that is not a good place for a nest. Mother Robin didn't realize it maybe, but there are a family of feral cats in this area. Also this nest offered no protection from the elements and we had a nasty few days of rain. It appears she abandoned the nest. I looked everyday for three or four days and never saw her again. I looked into the nest and saw the three eggs and when I looked into today the eggs were gone. I didn't see any shells anywhere, so don't really know what happened to them. It is a beautiful nest. So I guess even the best laid plans are sometimes not good enough. She will be smarter next time. Too bad humans don't learn as easily.
