Last week, when I finally was able to cut the grass after about three weeks, near the back of the garage I inadvertently ran over a nest. All I saw were pink, kicking legs, and, since it was chilly, I ran around front, grabbed a handful of mulch, and gently placed it over the top of what I had uncovered with the mower. I wasn't sure exactly what was in the nest, be it bird or rabbit or what, and I didn't want to get close again to find out since no injuries were obvious.
About 20 minutes ago I started hearing Robins outside the window, in the general area of that nest. I ran for the camera, but too late - mom and/or dad took off when I snuck around the side of the garage and the babies shut up. I can't see the babies without disturbing the reworked camouflage - they used some of the mulch I put there but seem to have rejected some of it as well. I didn't think Robins nested on the ground.
They sure were making a lot of noise!!
