What kind of eggs are these?

[David LaPell]

I was out walking this morning and flushed a little brown bird off this nest. Never seen these before here in NY (Adirondacks) It was moving too quick to give me a really good look.

Not sure where in the world you are located. Here in Kentucky, Robins lay eggs that color, but ours have been hatched out for a while now.

"Robins egg blue"

It could be the lighting but they look too dark for Robin, I'd guess Starling. It could also be a Bluebird, females can appear very brown. Its hard to tell without a size comparison. Bluebird eggs are by far the smallest of the three.

The nest appears to be on or very close to the ground. Could they be from a Thrush?

Possible, but Thrush eggs I've seen are speckled.

Chicken...

I'd bet they're Robin eggs. Starlings are black and usually have 5 or 6 eggs, and bluebirds usually nest in cavities in trees and posts.

Why is it everytime someone starts a thread about wildlife some freak has got to chime in about "how good days tastes", "mmm good for da belly", " I likes mine over easy", "that rack would look good on my wall" I have in my life killed most things that walks or crawls. A guy at work was gonna squash a lady bug the other day. I told him go ahead if you can make me another one. IF MY ATTITUDE ABOUT NON HUMANS IS WRONG (HUMANS MAKE THEIR OWN WAY) THEN I GUESS I'M ON THE WRONG FORUM.

Thankyou..I guess I do get crazy. It's the bright lights and the colors, the colors... Seriously Mickey... I apologize for over sensitivity on the subject.

Likely a robin or european starling. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the nest looks better constructed like a robin's. Starling eggs are a little smaller than a robin, and sometimes darker blue. An eastern bluebird's eggs are quite small, just a little larger than a dime. The others are about quarter sized.
