Seven tiny, speckled eggs lay inside a twiggy, feathery nest...
...nestled inside the birdhouse that Hub built...
...they are the Wren's eggs. So sweet. 
And Momma Wren seems a little perturbed when Hub happens to mow the lawn. Or she just enjoys watching him maybe? I took this photo one evening when he was out mowing in the backyard, near the birdhouse...and she sat with her head poking out the hole for quite awhile.
And a Robin couple built a nest right underneath our deck stairs. Not the most peaceful place for her to sit on her eggs as she flies out anytime we walk up the steps or go near the deck. Then she'll sit on a nearby tree branch and closely watch us until we go. Last weekend, we washed all the windows & screens on our house...and I think this was a bit of a traumatic day for her what with all the going in & out and out & in, spraying down screens, windows popping open & closed, etc... I think she's okay though...although she may think we're a bit nuts!
However, when she does leave, it gives me an opportunity to snap a quick photo by sticking my camera up there in that tight space and hoping I've got a good shot.Aren't they the prettiest blue?
...
Happy Thursday!

Cute pictures ... especially the one of the head sticking out of the house :) We have a robin that builds under our deck too ... and this year we had one in a front yard pine tree {just finally finished the blog about those pine tree birdies, in fact}.
Love all the photos! Didn't God make the prettiest blue color in those robins eggs? The wren's eggs are pretty, too, though!
