[TN-Bird] Nesting birds

Yesterday I found a Robin nest on the University of Tennessee- Agricultural 
Campus with at least two very large nestlings being feed by their parents.  
When I went to check the nest today one had fledged and was being fed about 5 
feet from the nest.  If today was the fledging date, it would mean the female 
started laying eggs sometime during the second week of February!
While I was trying to relocate the Robin nest, I found a Mourning Dove nest a 
few feet away.
