    Robin. Don’t touch the eggs… If you do, the mother will abandon them.

    Its a probably a robin nest, leave the eggs alone, but if you can find a place a decent distance away you can watch the mom come back to the nest, and later feed the babies

    Most likely a robbin. Pretty sure and they make those candies that are bright blue and are called robbin eggs. :)

    Here on the west coast robins lay blue eggs.

    Robins lay blue eggs. Char is right, don’t touch the eggs, the mother will toss them out of the nest if you do. It’s sad, but true :o (

    Those little red breasted robins. However, please don’t touch the eggs, because the mother will most likely come back. Let nature take it’s course.
    And if you do touch them (it’s a better idea not to), the mother will not abandon them. It’s an old wives tale that if you touch a birds egg or its young that it will abandon it; not true. Birds have a poor sense of smell.
    Good luck!

    Probably a robin. but it could also be an Eastern Blue Bird…

    Take a peek, do they look like these?

    (and everyone is right, please dont touch them!)

    The most common birds that have blue eggs are robins and bluebirds.

    What color were the eggs? By any chance were they Robins Egg Blue? (See image below)
