Empty Nest  Today while I planted petunias into our front hanging baskets Mrs Robin decided it was time for her babies to vacate the nest. With tw0 plump babies in the bushes the third left the nest to join them. I wasn't able to get any decent pictures before the family departed the brush on a short flight across the road into the long grass of the ditch and corn field. |

I don't know if the Robins "re-use" the nest or not for a second liter of babies,. If any of you might enlighten me whether or not I should put up a "Vacancy" sign or not. I don't want to tear the nest down and clean the porch if they are coming back.

. I have power washed all the guano from the porch and railing. The Lily of the Valley & Hostas got fertilized with a high nitrogen bath.

They were like the kids you'll never have nice to have something like that in the yard and watch them grow up and leave.

Robins do not re-use their nests, even in the same season, because of parasites that can live in the nesting material. You can go ahead and clear it off your wreath.

I am so tired tonight. I spent 4 hours this afternoon resurrecting the next door neighbor's 6' high solid steel panel fence that was listing at a 30 degree angle from wind pressure. It hadn't been built properly fro the start. The posts were only in the ground 6". I installed 4 anchor posts 4' deep into the ground, then used a come along to winch the fence back in place at each anchor location. Once plumb, I attached a 2x4 between the fence post and the anchor posts using the air nailer. The fence is now straight as can be and very solid.
