Last year a robin built a nest in a precarious position on the angled part of one of our downspouts, and on Mother's Day 2020, the nest fell off, along with the baby birds living therein. We reconstructed the nest (our kitchen now down one hanging fruit basket), returned the birds, and everyone did well, with the birds eventually leaving the nest. This year, what we assume is the same robin came back to her ready-made nest, added a few twigs just to say she contributed something, and raised a new batch of baby birds. I've never been into bird pix, but with the nest outside our kitchen window, it was hard to resist getting a few photos. The first few shots are of the babies in the nest and the last two are iPhone shots of one of the fledglings after they set off from the nest today.

Very nice job of nest construction, CE. Thanks for the story and baby bird pictures.
