Hummingbirds again...
We had a robin make its nest right beside our front door, on top of the porch light one summer. It was a bit fraught (for both parties), with all the opening and closing and whatnot, but it was pretty neat to be able to peer into the nest every day and monitor progress.
Ian - it is probably cottonwood tree fluff, maybe milkweed. I've seen a nest before and it was as soft and downy as this one - but not artifical cotton wool.
Next year, the thread, hair, floss and maybe even dustballs get put out for them.
Thanks for the tips.
Incredible photos!
