Perfection

A couple of weeks ago, we noticed a robin's nest built on the exterior light above our side garage door. The light is located just below the door to our back porch, so we can look down from the porch directly into the nest. A couple of days later we noticed two, then three, and finally four perfectly tiny blue eggs. The parents don't seem to mind that we peer down from time to time. I have to confess that I haven't yet distinguished the male from the female; apparently they look quite similar but the female is paler. I'll pay more attention next time.
