When we arrived home this spring we discovered that a robin had started to build a nest behind the light on our back porch. Since it was messy and probably unsafe, I removed it. The next morning she'd started another one. This went on for several days. I'd destroy her efforts during the day and she'd rebuild overnight. Then I awoke one morning to find a deflated yellow balloon hanging from the light. I told my husband, "Look, the robin left us some rent." There she sat, proud as a peacock, daring me to evict her. Needless to say, I gave up and she raised two babies in her safe warm home. She'd created her own incubator. The moral of this story is: In these days of rampant foreclosures--PROTECT YOUR NEST.
