Tue, Apr 9, 2024:  St. Louis, MO:  Well, our deck has been taken over by a nesting sparrow and a robin.  The sparrow is nesting in our little bird house on the deck and the robin is nesting atop our light on the deck.  A robin nested there last year—maybe it’s the same one.  She had such a hard time building the nest because it was so windy.  All her nesting material ended up on the floor of the deck.  But, she didn’t give up.  The nest is a little messy, but she got it done.  Now both she and the sparrow are sitting on eggs.
