I had a robin check out my lilac tree by the front door for a nest and was hoping they would choose it, but I walked by the window too many times and disturbed them so no nest in that tree.KittyHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739803072124784137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-53513851751028942682010-04-17T11:20:58.795-04:002010-04-17T11:20:58.795-04:00janis--you're exactly right.

Now it's the same with the viburnum--always the same spot.<br /><br />debs--their nests always look like the one in this photo--large, tightly woven with grass fringes--don't know what purpose the "fringes" serve. This year there's only a couple eggs. In past, the nest may have 5-6 hatchlings--a nursery full!<br /><br />As for your own garden, does living close to the sea speed the gardening season along?Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-49403647309059405062010-04-17T05:01:26.447-04:002010-04-17T05:01:26.447-04:00That's a solid looking nest, what clever Robin...That's a solid looking nest, what clever Robins to be so thorough. <br /><br />Your window boxes and viburnum look amazing.
