Very nice, Robin's nest is something we don't see in our area.

An interesting take on the "house cleaning" of bird nests, I was not aware of this process. Quite frankly it never dawned on me about the excrement problems as a results of the many feedings. Super image of this process....

Excellent shot. I have seen this, but with different birds! Well done.

This is certainly a very educational capture. Vote.
