eneumeier Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I leave my Tilley handing in my garage, with other critical gear. Yesterday I noticed some twigs sticking out. I moved the hat slightly and there was a tussle inside so I stopped and did not actually look inside. I thought about ditching the nest so I can use my favorite hat for May paddles, but today Mom and Dad were out and I gently took it down (using the neck strap) and inside were 3 TINY TINY babies. Gotta leave them alone to grow up. Last summer robins roosted on top of my hoe, also hanging in my garage, and raised 2 clutches.

gyork Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I hope it's not a phoebe, liz. I spend a good part of every spring shooing away this species that loves to nest in the smallest of overhangs, creating a mud-rich nest in the process! Any successful fledglings will come back year after year, and possibly become a nuisance, as they have for me. I love birds, but my least favorite is the phoebe, with blue jays a close second. Funny how they air-lifted that big limb in as the main carrying beam, or is that your walking stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 They air lifted it. Pretty impressive. I think they are sparrows but only got a quick glimpse of Mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
