Mom Robin

I'm sure she was shivering in fright the whole time I was near her so I got in and got out fast. This nest is only 4 feet off the ground and I'm surprised the neighbourhood cats haven't found it. Hopefully she'll be able to hold them off till her eggs hatch.

Hawk Nest

Mom, Dad and Baby nesting in my cousins yard. Closer view here.

and growing...

It started baseball size and more than doubled in 17 days. Now it is basketball size and looking even bigger from the bush side. I am curious now as to how big it will get.

Fallen Nest

Nicholas found this on the ground at the three sisters. It must have fallen down in the storm the night we lost the tree. It's perfect. The middle is a flawless little cylinder and the really cool thing is that they used Suzys' molt hair to line the inside so it is a tiny downy bed. The whole inside has a layer of her hair woven into shape. Too bad they have to start over but there is lots of molt hair around out there to do it with at least.
