Nest Watch
This year's nest watch began with a mystery. When I found my first nest, it was because I had found a robin egg on the ground near it. When I looked up, under the deck, where the egg lay, I saw, not one nest, but four all in a row! It seems so strange to me, that robins would nest all together like that. I will be watching this nest very carefully througout the season. The Chart below explains the situation of the nests. We have so many robins in our yard, that I can't tell which are sitting on the nests here, or if it's more than one pair that have created these nests. Could it be the same robin for all four? Anyway, There are two eggs, one in each of the outer nests, as of June 28th. I will check the nests again on June 30th.

That is very interesting and exciting! We have a Robin nest here with about five or six BIG babies in it! They sit on eachother when they're in the nest. Reminds me of a big family in a small house.
I love that Red Fox picture and the "He wants his freedom" picture. Really clear and wonderful color. High five!!
Five or six robins in a nest! That's really incredible. I think the robin here, descided one nest wasn't enough room, so she expanded to four nests, and lays eggs in a nest every day! Can't wait until there are babies!
