Notes from a beautiful place on the planet: part of the driftless area of northwestern Wisconsin at Lake Pepin, where the Mississippi winds beneath limestone bluffs and the night sky is unobscured. Thanks for visiting! ~Uri

Step ladder nest

This perfectly round Robin's nest sits atop a metal step ladder that leans against the old stone house in the yard.  It is vulnerable to sun and wind and rain (not to mention convenient step access for four-legged creatures), but so far, so good. Stay tuned. There are three well-protected Robin's nests on the house, each with baby Robins in residence.
