The speckled eggs belong to a Brown-headed Cowbird. They are brood parasites, which means they lay their eggs in other birds' nests. The cowbirds hatch earlier and will grow faster than the robins. This may cause result in the robin babies not receiving as much food. Do not interfere with the nest, as this could harm all the birds. If you really wish to help, the offer some fresh mealworms on a plate near the nest. The mother will eat these if she needs food.
