Blue Eggs in Emerald Green Arborvitae

I counted four eggs in the nest. Had to take a very quick photo before the robin returned.

The nest is in a very sheltered, screened location next to the front porch (a column blocks it on one side). This is problematic because I can’t stop strangers from walking up to the front porch and ringing the doorbell, which disturbs the robin. She will also scream at me if I pick up flyers and whatnot that are left on the front porch. However, I am trying to get her used to my presence by making some noise before opening the door and whistling softly as I step out. It seems to be working. Today, she didn’t yell at me. She just watched me.
