American Robin's Nest

Turdus Migratorious

Description:

Beautiful bright blue eggs.

Habitat:

Tropical like climate. Backyard. The Robin built the nest on the step of a short wooden ladder that was leaning against a wall, in the backyard.

Notes:

I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of the whole scene. I was more interested in the nest at time.

That is unique. We had one a year or two ago in a tree of ours. I got some similar (but not as good) pictures with my point and shoot. I put it on a timer and set it on a tripod then reached the extended tripod over the nest (it was too far out on the branch for me to climb). That was before I had my DSLR.

Thank you Jack. Yes it was neat. I never saw a Robin's nest built on a ladder before.
