That looks to be the Papa. Male Robins colors are more intense than the females. The heads on male Robins appear VERY black as is the case with your photo.

I checked the birds yesterday and they were gone. The day before there were only two. I don't know what happened, except we had some extremely high winds or the birds were not healthy. Each time I looked at them they never raised up their beak to feed.

Should I take the nest down?

If the nest is empty they WON'T be back. Robin nests are designed for a one batch use.

I took the nest down and put it in my windowsill. I didn't want starlings to take over. I noticed a robins nest in a neighbor's wreath, with starlings nesting in it. SIX EGGS.

they sure were pretty....but I don't like those birds overmuch.

Fantastic pictures! That egg color is amazing!!!

Sorry you don't know what happened to the babies though. Hopefully they are well and happy with the parents.

I hate to hear the babies are gone [Frown] because I was hoping to see some more pictures of them.

the picture was taken with a macro lens. Hubby is a budding photographer. When you look at the original picture file you can see crackles all over one egg.

There were Grackles on the egg! [scaredy] It's a miracle they didn't eat the eggs or the baby birds!
