But here's the promised update on the robin's nest.
Apparently, the robin didn't like our traffic through the door, so she abandoned the nest. Sadly. Fortunately, she didn't abandon her eggs, because she hadn't laid them in there yet.
I expect that our robin created another nest somewhere else, and is happily raising her little babies.
When we discovered that she abandoned the nest, we took it down to see what it looked like. A robin's nest is truly an amazing thing! just look at it!
Isn't that weaving just incredible?
Let's take a look at the middle where the eggs would have been laid:
I would say that's just about perfect for 3 or 4 eggs to lay in.
This is the bottom of the nest:
See how she packed mud on there to make it sturdy? Truly amazing.
I am continually amazed at how God's creatures know exactly how to make a home, even on the thin ledge above a door!
