Bad News

It's a short post tonight. No picture and few words as I share a very sad discovery I made today. I'm no longer expecting baby robins to hatch in our time share porch nest that was taken over by Ms. Robin this year. Due to high winds the nest was apparently damaged last night and late this afternoon blue shelled robin eggs were found crushed on the floor of the back deck. Ms. Robin has yet to return.

Goodbye Ms. Robin. Goodbye baby birds. Maybe next year you can try again and I can create a structure that will shelter future nests from wind damage. I know what happened is all part of nature but it still makes me very sad.
