I went out to see if my resident broody Robin was back from her evening supper (it's night here), and I saw the neighbor's cat stalking into the barn! Chased him off and yes, Robin was in her nest. Those of you actually taking part in hatching eggs, I don't know how you keep your hair on your heads!
When Robin was out, a red tailed hawk was circling above and I thought the worst for her when she wasn't back at dusk. And she's just a wild bird, not "mine"! To think what it will be like to have my own brood!
