Finally!

I’ve been watching for weeks for any signs of nests around here. Last year we had three nests and I loved watching them. Everyday I would go outside and check for any changes. Did the mom move the eggs around? Are there any cracks? How are the chicks growing? I know it’s still early but I’ve been waiting and waiting until I saw any signs of any nests but I haven’t seen any. Until a few days ago when I saw a robin hopping with some grass in its mouth. I watched it hop near the front deck and then fly under it. I checked on it later but there was no nest. Then yesterday I was looking again and I saw the telltale signs of dried grass sticking out from under the deck boards. And sure enough, there looks like two nests next to each other. So far they both look empty. I’m hoping that soon enough there will be eggs. The nests aren’t in quite as good position as it was last year but I can still kinda see what is inside. 

And now I can’t wait to see if there will be any eggs, how many eggs and how many chicks hatch! I’m so excited!!
