Topic: Rockin' robin

The following local photo, entitled Rockin Robin, appeared on our town news web site.  I thought it was so cute.  I love watching all the robins in our yard; they're a cheerful sight.

Very cute! Who doesn't love Robins?  

Birds do build in odd places.  My neice in St Louis had a decorative wreath on the door and each time they opened it they saw a Dove fly off.  It turned out, the bird built a nest in the wreath and layed eggs so they had to enter and exit through another place.  Oh the things we do for these little things.

Serialmom, birds do build nests in all sorts of unlikely places. Years ago I worked in a building where a mockingbird built her nest in a big shrub right next to the front door, where hundreds of people came and went all day long. Everyone loved watching the progress of the babies and I guess the mama bird felt confident that no one would bother them. - Peridot

Ah, that's so cute. Birds build nests in some crazy places.  This winter I noticed an old nest in the trees in front of our house and whatever bird made it must love plastic bags because there's lots of that in the nest. I also found a tiny little humming bird nest a couple of days ago when we went for a walk through the park. Of course once the leaves come out then they are next to impossible to find.

Sometimes robins will build a nest in our hanging impatiens basket on the front porch. One year we got to watch the eggs hatch and the baby robins eventually fly away. So cute. - Peridot
