Easter Apr 17, 2022

Easter

The American robin doesn"t go out of its way to hide its colored eggs, nor does it need watercolor to celebrate Easter! Thanks to a process in the mother"s blood, her eggs—which she can lay up to three times each year—are always colored this lovely shade of blue. There"s even a name for the hue, "robin"s-egg blue."
