We have lived in this house for sixteen Springs, but only in the last two has a robin’s nest been built in the identical location, where a gutter downspout meets my home. Last year we had three baby birds, and perhaps the same parents have again nested. Joy!

Cute! I think it would be a joy, too, to watch them nesting and raising their little ones. 🙂

That bird was very trusting of me, allowing me to be within 8 ft of her take this photo (300 mm.) We are old friends.

Oh, still fascinating. This morning on my walk as I got back home I tried to capture a couple of egrets looking for worms in the grass…In the shade of the house I spotted blue jays mating right there, my jaw dropped, I quickly tried to catch the shot…they ruffled their feathers and flew away before I could. 😦
This is a fabulous photograph, Mike!

For three years, robins nested on our deck, but they would attack us if we tried to come outside. So we encouraged them in subsequent years to nest a little further from our back door. We had four perfect blue eggs and three baby birds. It was adorable 🙂

They attacked you? I think that is actually kind of funny. Ours swoon when they see us.

A grand and lovely surprise. I read that on average they live 5-7 years so this could continue as a ritual every year for a time.

What a lovely spring gift it would make each year to see them return.
How is Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is good. She is slowing down for sure and is showing here age some, but she remains healthy and very happy. I try not to talk about baby birds in front of her. It’s her favorite food, birds.

I remember that from last year. 🙂 extra treats for Pumpkin every day she doesn’t drool by the nest.
