Robins

These robin eggs were found at my mom's work and they just recently hatched!
Now some fun facts about robins/robin eggs:
(First are facts about Robin eggs)
1. Rather than laying their eggs in the early morning like most birds do, they lay their eggs at mid-morning, hours after other birds.
2. Robins normally lay four eggs and then stop. They always one egg a day until they feel it is complete. If you remove one egg each day, some kinds of birds will keep laying for a long time, only stopping when they feel they have enough eggs. Robins normally lay only four eggs.
3. Until a robin has laid a full clutch of eggs, they will keep them cool so they do not begin to develop, this way they all hatch around the same time.
(Now facts about Robins)
1.  A Robins' scientific name is Turdus migratorius
2. The American Robin is the symbol of  Michigan, Wisconsin, and Connecticut
3. Robins can fly as fast as 32 miles per hour.
