Robin's Nest in Our Crape Myrtle


We have a Crape Myrtle (also known as a Crepe Myrtle) in our very small backyard and a couple of robins have started a family in it.  I don't know if it is the smartest place to start a family, as it is just a couple of feet from our gas grill and our deck railing provides easy access to the nest by squirrels and other critters.  But, tragedy has yet to strike as mama robin seems to be guarding some eggs very closely.

I have a phobia of birds pecking my eyes out, so it took all my courage to get these shots with my iPhone.  She was not looking very friendly as I got a little too close.  You can see her "Oh No You Don't" look she is giving me if you look closely.
