The robins have been gone a few weeks now. They’ve moved to the wooded areas where the food is more plentiful. I miss hearing their singing in the dark moments before dawn.
At the end of June a pair made a nest on the arbor over the gate leading to the front door.
The nest looks comfortable and nicely constructed. There is a little step on the underside. The builder supported the main part of the nest on the large vertical post and partially supported the side on the lower horizontal slat. It is a fine and clever foundation.
I considered it auspicious and a compliment to have the robins nesting there. They trusted us enough to take up residence in an area where folks often pass by.
