#robin nest

Gave the old abandoned robin’s nest to the side garden today, surrounded by the results of that assorted seed pack. Back to the earth with ye! I bet that robin couple found a better site and has been bringing the young ones around since then.

Mama robin has been busy, looks like we’ll have another crowded nest this year!

Some behbeh robins hatched in my stairwell. Last 2 years their nests have been destroyed (blue jays, I think, considering the cleaned out eggshells I found one year). I was hoping they’d survive this time.

Well, as I was coming upstairs, I heard a tiny cheep and looked up in time to see one of the parent robins feed something to a scrawny-necked baby that reached its head up to get it.

I’d have taken a pic, but the lighting and angle would be terrible, so not worth it. Probably why they managed to hatch this time around.

Snuck a quick photo when mama robin took a break from the nest. ❤️

There is a bird nest by my back door that I have left since we got here because 1) we never use the light that it’s on so it’s not really a fire hazard or anything and 2) I think it looks nice to have a little nest right there. I figured since we have dogs in the yard all the time and we are always using the door right next to it, that there was no chance a new bird mama would come and lay eggs in it.

I was wrong.
