We have a new resident in our building, and she has decided to bring her young into the world not 2 feet from our door. For the last two weeks, a fat, red robin has been dive bombing us everytime we come in, or go out of, our back door...and now we know why. She has made the camellia bush her home, and today we spotted two bright blue eggs in a fairly big nest. We are going to share with you this sign of spring (since the weather is no indication) with high hopes that in about 12 days (or less) we will have little chicks to brag about. We have named her Sterling and at this time we are going to try and let her have some peace. We will check as often as we can on her progress without disturbing her too much.

I understand that there is a population of "Rattus Norvegicus" (Common Brown Rat) in the Fife area that will prey on Robbin eggs.
That is actually quite sad...and honestly, I think we might have a few of those in the area too. Guess we can only hope the chicks make it into the world, and rely on survival of the fittest.
