Robin’s Egg Blue
I moved this nest from a camellia we cut down two years ago and put it in the rhododendron by the front steps. That year a Stellar’s jay repurposed it. Last spring it was empty after I pruned the rhody, removing its cover. Now, in spite of exposure, Mama Robin has moved in.

Writing Down the Story 
O, so cool. Love how you tracked this life around you…repurposed and all. I haven’t discovered any bird nests in my yard/surrounding trees as of yet. There may be too much activity around.

Even the birds are into repurposing! I guess nest builders have always been into recycling.
