Room With A View

We recently had some guests move into our treehouse, the fort part. It is nice and dry and even has a roof with shingles! Talk about living in style. Mother and father robin picked a good spot it seems. There are many window openings for them to enter and exit through. There are some eager grackles after their eggs it seems but they are defending them faithfully. We go up from time to time to peek on the eggs but not everyday since we don't want to cause them too much distress. Once the eggs hatch and the babies fly away we shall claim our treefort back and keep the nest for our science collection. We will be sure to put up the blinds my mother and father brought as well, just in case they get any ideas of staying in their room with a view again this season!

We had some robins build a nest on the brick ledge on our garage last year. It was a lot of fun watching them poking up their heads - complete with bed-head - to get fed.
It was even more fun to watch them learn to fly!

May. 2, 2008 - have I ever told you

Posted by bestsister

that a Room with a View is one of my all time favourite movies? I may need to try to rent it and remember why I loved it so much.

Of course I wish very much that I could be there to see your robins in person, because that would mean I'd also be able to be in your house eating pie with you and lamenting our growing (or at least not decreasing) waist lines.

Hugs right back at ya!
