One more post for now... :-)

Today is apparently a tough day to be an American Robin.

This morning, I watched as a pair of robins nesting in the
neighbors' yard tried in vain to fend off a tag-team of
Gray Squirrels raiding their nest.  Then, as I left work
to go to lunch, I spooked an American Crow that was trying
to raid a robins' nest near the backdoor of my workplace.
When I returned after lunch, the crow was back in the area
and being harrassed by the local nesting Tree Swallows.
