The Nature of Things

Who knows what a bird thinks when it thinks real estate. For some reason, this aluminum extension ladder in Mark Paulvin’s Somers garage seemed like THE spot for a robin to build its nest.

From here, I’ll let Mark talk:

“Two weeks ago I noticed the beginnings of a robin’s nest being built on an extension ladder hanging from the ceiling in my garage. Sure enough, by day two, there were two large blue eggs in the nest and the mother robin was going to have a difficult task sitting on her eggs in my busy garage.”

A family meeting followed on whether to move the nest, move the ladder with the nest or leave the garage door open. The family, Mark said, went with the last option.

“We have left the garage door open for the past 2 weeks to allow the mother robin access to the nest. Hopefully, the
chicks will hatch very soon from the two eggs and we will be able to use the whole garage again.”
