What is more motherly than a birth. Today, one of the eggs hatched, two are still sleeping inside their egg. The fourth egg is sitting on my shelf with my garden seeds. After stealing one egg, I watched this mother to see if she would lay another egg, as one resource mentioned. However, this mother robin became the most vigilant bird that I have ever witnessed. Daily, I would take pictures of the nest whenever the mother few away. Today there is a birth.
