Robin Eggs

Way up high, tucked under an eave hides a nest of robin eggs.


Hard to reach! Hard to see! Angry mother robin chases us away. How long will it be before baby robins join us? Not long now!

What Robin Told

by George Cooper

How do robins build their nests?

Robin Redbreast told me

First a wisp of yellow hay

In a pretty round they lay;

Then some shreds of downy floss,

Feather, too, and bits of moss,

Woven with a sweet, sweet song,

This way, that way, and across;

That's what Robin told me.

Where do robins hide their nests?

Robin Redbreast told me

Up among the leaves so deep,

Where the sunbeams rarely creep,

Long before the winds are cold,

Long before the leaves are gold,

Bright-eyed stars will peep and see

Baby robins--one, two, three;

That's what Robin told me.
