Robin's Nest...

Hi there!

More signs of spring in your corner of the world?
One sign of spring are the chirping robins out and
about.  And, we had an awesome discovery this
afternoon!  One brave robin built a nest right
near our front door.  There is not much
shelter for those gorgeous robin eggs, so we'll
have to keep an eye on them from any predators.
I pray these sweet little robins do well and grow
into beautiful fine birds!  Ok...here is the photo
I have to share with you....


So, you can see by the photo there is not much shelter
at all.  I was quite surprised to see a robin's nest in
this scraggly evergreen.  We were thinking about
cutting it down this year.  But, we certainly won't
cut it down until after the little sweeties hatch.  I'll
keep you posted.  Doesn't  little nature surprises
put a smile on your face?  It sure does for me!
Take care friends, hugs!:-)

  3. Omg,this is so sweet! We had a robin build a nest on our front porch in a grapvine wreath one year,despite having many trees to choose from. It was so fun peeking on the eggs and seeing the babies.

  8. Maria, what a beautiful photo. Several years ago, the robins built in a holly shrub right outside (in the corner) of our den window. We could see into the nest and got to see them feeding the babies after they hatched. It was so interesting and fun to see.
