yep...I remember having this problem 13 yrs ago...same spot. Must be something genetic in these birds. I may just treat them as "undocumented guests" and off them something nice and sweet to drink....maybe green colored.

We had a robin build a nest in our garage on top of the door opener one year. The kids were young so we let it go til the chicks flew the nest. Afterwards, we took the nest down. I assume the same bird showed up again the next year and attempted to repeat. We stopped that one.

Just went out to the bird feeder and told all the robins that AL had vacancies.

Civic duty is done for the day.

PUTZ! .... for some reason that reminds me that I may be low on Prestone.

I might declare myself as a "bird sanctuary"....but don't want to lose my Federal SS.

Don't want the birds to freeze in case of a late spring freeze, right?
