<p><font size="+1">Good morning, and a Happy Mothers Day to all. I
discovered this morning that a pair of robins have built their
nest on the top of a trellis of honeysuckle at the back of my
house, at about 6' off the ground. This is conveniently located
behind the BBQ grill, at the corner of the carport, adjacent to
the sidewalk that leads to the patio. We have had them build
under the overhang of the carport in the past, where they fly
off in a panic each time the car enters or departs. I cannot
imagine how much exercise they are going to get if they are
disturbed every time we walk out of the house! They are also
eating me out of my mealworm allowance. <br>

<p><font size="+1">I have been visited by a couple of male Orioles a
couple times a day, and while they have yet to partake of my
jelly and oranges, they do enjoy the birdbath. A male RT
hummingbird has been seen at least once, morning and late
afternoon, for a few days in a row. Goldfinches are becoming
more numerous, and I also have a Swainsons thrush visiting me.
I have been keeping my eyes peeled in case I get one of my rare
Indigo Bunting sightings--they don't always pass through here,
but when they have, it seems to coincide with Mothers Day. <br>
