Robin’s Nest

Recently a robin made a nest above the back deck on the new gutter and deck light. We never had the gutter there before so that is probably why we never had a bird’s nest there before. We typically get them in the potted plants on the front porch. It’s nice having them on the front porch because you see them grow up from in the house without disturbing them. Unfortunately in the nest in the back is right above one of the chair spots, so “bombs away!” if you catch my drift.

We thought about moving it before it laid it’s eggs, but we waited too long and now can’t touch it because we don’t want the mother to abandon the nest. We are used to seeing all sorts of birds in the yard all summer. We get sparrows, pigeons, a lot of crows, robins, blue jays, and cardinals. Usually it’s the sparrows that make a nest somewhere, first time a robin did it. I can’t wait to see them grow up. Wish I could peek at the blue eggs, but once again don’t want to disturb it.
