Backyard Birding

Been a while since I’ve posted, but been busy with my new son :-)

We’ve got some robins that have built a nest under our deck for the 3rd summer in a row now, though in years past it’s been mourning doves. We saw this nest being built and saw mourning doves, but we’re not sure if the robins actually built it or if they performed a hostile take over. Regardless the birds were very small and are now huge, but are still up there (there are 3 in the nest).  The parents are there quite often, obviously, and are not that pleased when someone goes out there.  Got this bugger as he waited for me to go back in — did I mention he wasn’t happy to see me there?
