Robin. We have a few robins around here every year too, but have never seen their nests, as one of the parents would fly in front of you and guides you away from their nests. I learned that robin’s “blue” eggs from a song lyric, “your eyes are bluer than robin’s eggs.”
Felines are farsighted, and somewhat color-blinded; that is, they see well in distance but cannot see small things in front of them and if the prays are not moving, they cannot find them, but if they move, the cat always catch them.

One unlucky chipmunk
Blue is learning and becoming better hunter everyday and at least she now knows how to hold her pray with her paws and body, but still doesn’t know what to do after that thou. The chipmunk used my body as a tree trunk to escape the cat. Too fast for me to catch the actions in film, the chipmunk circled my legs and body ended up hid in my pocket. I dig it out and left it on the ground and thought that it would run away again as usual, but the cat was on its tail again, and it came back to hid inside my short, I caught it and noticed that it lost a portion of tail skin (not the first time when I release it), one unlucky chipmunk, my bad. I release it to the tree, and it got away with a battle scar, an honorable badge of living free and wild in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
