This was from last spring. The robins have since grown up and have their own families now in “the big evergreen bush”, while the peach tree is looking like a bumper crop this year!

      Not in the peach tree, luckily, but there are a million birds & nests in the bushes around my house. I live in the home town of John James Audubon.

      Robin are outstandingly successful gatherers, no wonder there are so many of them. My wife and I can see a nest from our living room window, and the parents make trips every 5min or so out to the yard and come back with giant mouthfuls of worms. I have no idea how they find the so quickly in the dry grass, but the babies get fat quick and are out on their own in no time.

        Oh, wow, that sounds fantastic! I live in the SW desert so the lack of trees is kind of a bummer, although we do have some great bird watching areas and reserves.
