Sadly the nest is down to just one egg. We have no idea what happened to the second one. We looked all over for it and didn't find any pieces anywhere. The nest is so low, and so exposed, that I wouldn't be surprised if another animal stole it for a little snack. Also it should be noted that it is NOT a robin's nest after all. We got a look at the mother the other day, though she doesn't sit for pictures, and she is gray with a longer beak. We are thinking a Thrasher maybe?
Anyway, today we noticed a crack in the remaining egg, which also seems strange because it hasn't been nearly long enough of a gestation. Though maybe some of the time the egg is inside the mother counts as gestation too??? I don't know. Anyway - maybe we'll have a little baby bird, and maybe we'll just have a dud egg. We'll see!

Rating: 1 Lollipop and 1 Fireball (good the egg might be hatching but bad that one is gone)

The one that is gone, the bird probably hatched and flew away and is now very happy.
Or it's like the nest we have in the front yard... where the babies just fall out and you only find feathers the next day...
