When reading the poem aloud there is a shift in line nine.  The author brings up the topic of a nest and eggs.  This is a clear divergence from playing in the yard.  The nest and eggs clearly connects with the birds "diving through the saw vines".  The author says "Each nest held three or four. speckled eggs, blue as rage".  There is a sense of uncertainty when he says "three or four", as if there is no definite answer.  The "nests" may refer to houses in the speakers neighborhood and the eggs could be the children in each house.  As for why the eggs are "speckled" or "blue as rage,"  I am still not sure.
