They can sit on the nest and look out over the zinnias in our front yard. The nest looks very sturdy, but it is so very close to where we park our cars.

A Clean, Well-lighted Place
What a place to build a nest. A family of American Robins (Turdus migratorius) has built its nest on the downspout of our drainpipe.
They can sit on the nest and look out over the zinnias in our front yard. The nest looks very sturdy, but it is so very close to where we park our cars.
We have provided two bird houses in our yard. A large holed box model in the magnolia up front and an alpine-looking store-bought bird house in the side yard. There is a family of English Sparrows in the side yard. And a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) in the magnolia. The Robins just found a platform and fabricated their own place out of grass and twigs.
