Wild speculation department: Some wild bird eggs have identifying patterns visible only in the near-UV, which some birds see quite well. These patterns allow the nest owners to tell their own eggs from imposters left in their nests by cuckoos and the like.I know they are Robins eggs but why in the world are they bright blue when poor mama robin is trying to hide them from assorted predators?
