Robin's Nest

 The newly abandoned nest hung precariously from a corner post supporting our deck looking more like a wreath than a nest. One egg already lay on the ground. What happened here? Did a larger bird disturb the parents or try to raid the nest? I am imagining that they were novices who did not realize that a spot three feet off the ground with no branches to hide it was not a wise choice. It was a perfectly formed nest with perfect brighter-than-Tiffany-blue eggs. So full of possibilities...So sad.
