Robin: Incubation

Early in the morning when the sunny spots are getting warm, I found one Robin singing and scratching at the same time. 

"I'm a busy beaver right now.  Need to handle
two things at one time."

Later, around the corner and on the opposite end of my house, I noticed a Robin mom was on the nest, warming up the eggs.  The nest area is dark and hidden.

ISO to show the bird.

Robin's eggs are blue without markings and take 12-14 days to hatch.  Both female and male feed the young.
