If these are orange-ish round eggs with tan fuzz over the top of the cluster, then they are most likely Gypsy Moth Eggs. Areas of the northeast US had a terrible Gypsy Moth season earlier this summer. The larva stage -caterpillars, which hatch from these eggs, climb the trees on which they were laid last summer and eat the daylights out of the leaves. Around my house in south central NY state, they just about stripped the Quaking Aspen (Poplars) of their leaves. While these thousands of caterpillars feasted, on quiet days, all you heard was caterpillar poop falling like a light rain. It stained my truck, my laundry on the line, my deck...everything underneath trees. At my mother's in northern NY state, the tree of choice was Oaks. Around Ithaca, NY it was Maples. One season stresses the trees when this happens, but they will usually recover. Two or more seasons in a row, can kill trees. Defoliating trees like the caterpillars do, keeps the trees from building reserves for next year's growth.
This looks similar to Gypsy Moth egg sacs. These moths are highly destructive. If you're in the U.S., I strongly encourage you to find you county extension agent for confirmation ASAP.

They could be mealy bugs
We really cannot see anything in your picture but a long row of 'yellow stuff' so most answers will just be guesses.
Hopefully this is not in your yard.
This does look like some type of moth eggs/larva but you really should take some close up pictures and send them to your county extension office as they know what types of bugs are presently in your area and this is their job - provide instructions on what/how to deal with the problem.
