Three blue eggs in a ground nest?

[David Small]

I'm tempted to call these Robin's eggs,

but they are smaller. The nest is on the

ground in a small open forest area at

Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife

Refuge. A medium (robin-sized) bird

flew off the nest when I was about two

to three feet away. The eggs are solid

pale blue..identical to a robin's egg color,

but 1/2 to 3/4 of the size...probably Robin,

I just don't dare to be sure.

Awesome nest and eggs photo Dave!  Looks and sounds more like a Hermit Thrush nest, or possibly a Veery nest to me.  Thanks for sharing!
