Over the course of the growing season, we have birds in the birdhouses here at the nursery but we have all kinds of nests in the trees in the sales and productions areas of the nursery as well! This robin’s next is located right behind our office in a Linden tree. It had three eggs in it, but only one baby robin is now in the nest. The adult robin built the nest rather low in the tree and we think perhaps a nighttime visitor has pulled at the nest causing it to tip slightly and perhaps get the other two eggs.
Mama Robin did her “I’m hurt” act to steer me away from the nest. We’ll continue to watch the baby for the next few days and monitor his early days!
