Out walking about his weekend, we saw this robin's egg shell. Just look at that lovely blue. Robin eggs incubate in 12-14 days. Hopefully, the baby birds lived. We try to provide a habitat full of berries and a natural setting where they can build their nests.
American robins can be found in North Carolina year-round and winter over here. It is not uncommon for winter roosts to number in the thousands. They have adapted to a variety of habitats, but in the winter, are more abundant near the coast than in Greensboro. They do like all the berries found locally.
Robins can have two to three broods a year. If we are lucky, we can go back and find more babies. It is always fun to look.
Happy Wednesday!
