American Robin

thanks everyone is confirmed it is a robin

Thought this might help. Pictures from a robin's nest: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9...

I didn't realize Starling eggs were so pretty. I've learned something. I suggest that by watching the bird that sits on the nest should tell us whose eggs they are!

Robin, if mud is used to hold the nest together. Bluebirds prefer boxes or holes like woodpeckers and Starlings do not have such a pretty egg.

Bluebird or Starling maybe? How nice to have that on your deck.
