Earlier in the summer, a Robin built a nest in the tree next to our mailbox.
He was a belligerent fellow, chirping at us every time we went out to check the mail. He was there a week or so, probably trying to attract a lady.
Then we went to Florida on our early-summer vacation, and when we got back he was gone.
The tree was heavy with leaves, and the nest was well hidden for the rest of the year. But now the leaves have fallen, and it’s become quite visible.
The craftwork is amazing, but there’s no evidence it was ever actually used. I expect it will last a while though. I wonder if anyone will use it next year?
