Several weeks ago there was some exciting activity as a robin worked industriously at building a nest. The noise of the bird landing and moving about in a group of Mahonia 'Charity' was interesting. The nest looked completed to me and then mom disappeared. Fast forward to last week and I noticed a robin gathering bits of Spanish Moss and flying to the nest. A new couple moving into the nest? The same bird returning? This time mom stayed with the nest for about 7 days.

She'd be there morning and night and sometimes would stand at the side of the nest peering down and, I thought turning her eggs. How delightful to see her raise her brood. Alas, a couple of days ago, she was no longer on the nest and hasn't returned since. Perhaps this nest wasn't meant to be a home. Will she return? Will another robin think it's a groovy pad? We shall see.
