Unlike Rome, the nest was built in less than a day.

They moved in the next day.

The kids are due in about a week.

First time robins have set up house on my house...but, Wiki shows almost the exact same set-up, here.

We've had them on outside lights just like that ... always have one in the Japanese pine, and another in the Arctic willow. Love this time of year. Great pics, Grav! That mama robin was really giving you the hairy eyeball. :)

I worry about driving her insane. We use that old 'slam-bang' screen door a lot.

That nest material looks really dry. Hmmm... dry grass & fresh eggs, all you need is bacon. ;)

pretty cool g

Awesome. Might be a bit of a challenge to go in and out of the house until they are fledged, though. My friends frequently get dive-bombed at their kitchen door.

you make nice threads gravdigr

Thanks V.

:)

Update.

The impending brood now numbers three (3).

you should know better - you really can't rush these things ;)

Yeah, you don't want some kind of fly-by-night job.

Thanks, Grav! This thread will be my baby robin 'fix' for this year, since there aren't any nests near my apartment. :(
Just one more downside to apartment living.

They're all mouth at that stage it seems.

I guess three-of-a-kind makes for a full house.

Thanx!

Two years unoccupied, but, I finally flipped this nest...

This is a new robin in an old nest. She. Is. Touchy.

She simply won't hang around at all, once you're within about fifty feet. She'll hideout in the maple tree and scold you all day though.

The nest:

Typical, sit there and push their big red breasts out, yelling don't look at me.

I fucking hate you for that thread title. now that's lodged in my head AGAIN where it doesn't need to be. I have enough trouble getting rid of it after Sunday pottery classes right next door to the dance studio where every class is doing a routine to this travesty

nice chicks tho

you guys crack me the hell up

Nice!

Go ahead hate me. If you're hating me, you're giving someone else a break.

Cellar, meet Manny, Moe, & Jack:

Winnah, winnah, baby robin dinnah!!

Hah!

They left day before yesterday.

Rockin' robins!! Again.
