I love it when the robins come back each spring… They usually nest close to the house each year, usually in one of the trees in the front yard.
For the past couple of days I’ve been finding pieces of dry grass, horse hair, and bits of weeds on the front porch and looking up into the trees trying to find where they are building their nest.
I should have focused my search a little closer to the house…
…like right under the front porch roof.
That’s the zoom in shot…
…here’s the zoom out shot. Five nests-in-progress, all lined up in a row.
Now I’m trying to decide if we just have an indecisive robin, or if there is suddenly something extremely attractive to robins about our porch!
Here’s a picture for Granny…
The two little dogs on duty… “guarding the perimeter”.
Absolutely nothing gets past those two!
Oh, we can’t wait to see them when we come to a co-op at your house. I hope there is 5, that’s a nice number.
Grace says thank you so much for the whale and coloring book and visit. It cheered her up (I say thanks for the chocolate and food, it was all good.)
It’ll be great to watch the comings and goings of the robins. Keep us posted.
“Absolutely nothing gets past those two!”
Except those squatter robins!
LOL at Renee!
How fun! I wonder if you can hook up a mirror on a stick to look up and see if there are any eggs…
Everybody needs a couple of vigilant guard dogs. If only ours didn’t “protect” us from neighborhood dogs five blocks away, cats, squirrels, birds … *Sigh*
