In the garden

Murky day. But that doesn't stop nesting behavior.

Over on the lighting fixture, no overhead protection, the mourning dove has picked this spot again.

 On the fuse box where the doves usually nest the robin has built a nest. First the male was checking this out.

Now Mama arrives. She's not on the nest full time which worries me, because it's cold, but there's overhead protection from the balcony above.

Swell nest. Twine from construction scaffolding.

And in the scaffolding wedged between pole and protective screen another robin nest right by path. She's totally protected. This is going to be hard to document. It's going to be a great show.
