✦ Anecdote
This record notes that the robin eggs were "very large," which is unusual as most collectors would not specifically comment on egg size unless it was remarkably different from normal.

I know this collection — 1078 AMRO egg sets, 1851–2013. Ask me about collectors, nesting habits, localities, incubation stages, or anything about Turdus migratorius biology.
