I was working on a jigsaw puzzle this morning in my dining room, and was hearing this scritch scratch noise.scritch, scratch.
scritch, scratch.
I looked out the window, but saw nothing. I opened the door and saw nothing. I opened the glass screen door, and...
There were a pair of robins trying to build a nest on the door handle of our front glass door!
They had just started, so I didn't feel guilty about picking off the strands of grass and wet leaves; letting them flutter to the ground.
scritch, scratch.
uh oh.
I opened the front door, and as my Great Dane is always interested whenever a door opens, he came to stand and look outside through the glass door. I figured this would discourage any more thought of nest building on our door handle.
It has. But oh....I would have enjoyed watching the robins build their nest so!"My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather."

She found an abandoned robin's nest on the ground, well after nesting season was over. After picking it up, she placed it on top of some vertical blinds she has in her family room. She said it has been there for several years now!
I also like how she has hung a hummingbird decoration close to it.
