bird identified
Tonight I looked out to see the nest empty, so I fetched the ladder to peek inside. I came outside (with the ladder) to the sound of a bird chastising me loudly (before I'd gotten near the nest). The bird was perched on my fence, watching me, so I've finally seen more than the head and tail.
Yup, robin:
According to what I found in searching, a robin lays one egg a day to a total of four, then incubates them for 12-14 days. So we should get chicks in a week to ten days. Cool!
That reminds me: have a live feed of nesting eagles in Estonia (visible during their daylight). I've only seen one of the adult pair so far, but there's a fuzzy chick in there.

This is neat -- a common bird, so *that's* not special, but I've never had a nest that I could easily watch day to day before, and I want things to go well. I wonder what (that I can provide) robins eat -- earthworms, yes, but see "that I can provide". The last few days I've been putting out some torn-up bread in a "better than nothing" gesture. It always disappears, though of course I don't know if the right bird is getting it.
