Moma Robin Nests On RV Bath House

Last week's GUEST BIRD #2 is a Clark’s Grebe. We photographed it at Klamath Lake in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2006. As is common, the Clark’s Grebes were with Western Grebes. Here are photos of both. Clark’s is white around the eye; Western is black. Here they are for comparison, Clark’s on left, Western on right. We’re still not sure about our mystery bird mentioned in the previous blog. Song Sparrow was suggested, but according to our bird book Song Sparrows are 6.25”. These birds were much smaller than that. See photos in the last blog… any other ideas?

Today we had the pleasure of seeing a nest with newly hatched robins, eyes still closed. Momma Robin built her nest on the outside window ledge of the restroom at an RV park in New Paris, Ohio. We’re wondering why there rather than in one of the many trees all around. Hope they stay safe. Here’s a photo of three hungry little birds.
