Prime Real Estate?

American Robins build a nest on these lights every year. Unfortunately, at least a couple of times the nest was raided by Blue Jays, American Crows, or Raccoons. Here's hoping the three chicks make it this time!

I hope they make it.

They do tend to build nests in places I would rather they didn't.

Robins are prone to doing things like that! I hope this nest survives. Very fine shot.

A cozy place for a nest but nay safe.

Nice shot, but not a good place to build a nest.

How wonderful a nest with a roof over their heads...V

Here's hoping the marauders stay away this year! Just this evening I witnessed a robin, nesting nearby, chasing away a couple of crows - the robin succeeded (I hope, since there was a lot of calling going on after)

How nice that they build a nest there every year, but so sad to hear about the attacks.

The lights on at night don't disturb them?

Nice nesting shot Carl. Too bad about the nest being raided a few times.
