Talk about feathering your nest, and no hammer! The nest is right outside the living room window, where the squirrels frolick in the winter. And how she rotates to evenly build, like a winged whirling derb-robin. Note the one on the grounds gets the worm (and it was the afternoon....)

Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness.

My camera will be watching for the next step: Blue Eggs or the neighborhood stray cat (we throw sticks and rocks at it, nasty looking with its one eye . . . ), but it can run like the wind....
