Robin with nesting material
Oooh! A bird with nesting materials!
This is an exciting time of year. Just this morning, I snapped this photo of an American robin with mud and leaves, pausing before darting off toward a fresh nest site.
I love it when birds nest in my yard, but I recognize that, depending on the location, a nest can definitely derail plans for a few weeks. Nesting season means it's best to avoid trimming the trees and shrubs. And when there's a nest in my yard, I tend to watch the chick development closely and flush the yard before letting my dogs out in case we have nearby fledglings.
