We had some strong winds last night, this morning I noticed a fallen bird nest with some broken blue eggs around it. I suspect these are robin eggs.
Will the pair rebuild the nest and produce more eggs or are they done for the season?
Thanks,

Not an ornithologist, but in my part of the world, many birds double clutch.
It’s soon enough in the season for them to lay a second clutch, but they will build another nest somewhere else.
In many parts of North America American Robins can fledge two broods per year, even when the first clutch is successful. As others have said, it is early in the season so they will almost certainly re-nest in another location.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. We had a pair build a nest in our euonymus bush, in what she thought was a forked branch. It was actually two crossed branches. When the wind whipped up, kerplop. I felt bad because I should have been pruning those out. (They built a new nest elsewhere)
They should get a synchromesh transmission, or just start using automatics.
