I am bereft. I truly am. There was a beautiful robin's nest in my Hydrangeas that I had been watching for a while. The nest was well hidden. First, there were three beautiful blue eggs and then three hatchlings. They were only 3 - 4 days old. This morning the nest was empty. I think a predator must have found them.

(3,108 posts)We had some wrens on our front porch. The wrens were used to us going in and out the door. One day the chicks were gone. Im sure it was a feral cat since we have them in the area. I loved seeing them as they grew. But they disappeared after a week or so.
