Three baby robins are now missing from their nest.

I am bereft. I truly am. There was a beautiful robin's nest in my Hydrangeas that I had been watching for a while. The nest was well hidden. First, there were three beautiful blue eggs and then three hatchlings. They were only 3 - 4 days old. This morning the nest was empty. I think a predator must have found them.

1. Talk to the folks posting all the cat stories

Most likely suspect is a feline.

4. or other birds (pretty predatory)

and if you live in my neighborhood - other critters live coons, skunks, possums and foxes ...

but, roaming felines - yeah, plenty of that brand too ...

2. I'm so sorry. I feel sad too. What joy it would have been to watch them grow

3. I watch the nests around the house

We had some wrens on our front porch. The wrens were used to us going in and out the door. One day the chicks were gone. I’m sure it was a feral cat since we have them in the area. I loved seeing them as they grew. But they disappeared after a week or so.

5. Only a small number make it

About 20 percent survive the first autumn. Nature is harsh

6. Robin built a nest on top of my cargo van's tire. I only use it couple times/ month.

South facing in full sun. Never had more than a single egg at a time. Snack bar for raccoons, wrens, jays.

7. I'm so very sorry.

Take care.
