Thank you for your excitement. This is exactly how I felt when I found them. I try really hard to be careful. Crazy bird lady.

Yes, this is where the phrase robin egg blue comes from. It truly is a real color. Yes, I have had bluebird eggs for over ten years in the backyard. They are a lighter blue. Hoping they return soon.

@DocAndersen I have never seen a raven's nest. How cool. They might not be very friendly with the camera getting close.

@CarolDM There is a small local bird that lays eggs very similar in color. We call the bird "codirosso" it is dark grey with a red tail.

@CarolDM I'm sure there must be at least one nest here too - at least there are some busy-looking adults around - but I haven't spotted anything yet.
