A robin had intricately woven grass and twigs together to create a home for her eggs, to raise her baby birds. And, though the nest was empty, it was beautiful
Last June, a robin built a nest atop an outdoor lamp on my back deck. The nest then sat empty for more than a week. As the days passed, the nest’s emptiness made me uneasy and stirred a sense of loss.
Two mornings later, I stepped out onto the deck and immediately noticed bird droppings and small feathers on the ground. The robin was nowhere to be seen. Each morning, I checked for the robin’s return. During the third week, I began to feel strongly that these eggs were not going to bring life. They’d be forever unhatched .
