The sun was shining Thursday, and it nicely warmed the day. It felt like spring had arrived.
I watched a female robin building her nest. She was collecting mud, grass, lichen, and other plant material. It was fun watching her build it. Sometimes she would land above the nest, drop the material into it, and then hop down to arrange it in the nest. As I watched her, she seemed free-spirited and joyful. She took a break every so often to forage and check in with her mate. He was always nearby watching and ready to chase off any intruders.
