A few weeks ago I noticed a nest right next to my driveway. Needed to snag a pic

Image


I noticed that every time I pulled my (definitely orange) Bronco into the driveway, a bird (not sure if male or female) would race back to the nest but not bother me. Until today..


now every time I leave my house it tries to scare me away by dive bombing. It’s a bit unnerving because the f*cker is darting at me but thankfully it hasn’t made contact yet

I think it’s a Robin?

I don't think it's a robin but can't tell.

Molly and I had a close encounter the other day.

It's a Robin. Nest also looks like a Robin nest. I had a pair nest on a ledge above my front door a couple years ago. Fortunately, I pretty much always enter my house through the garage.

We had woods that led to slag dumps behind the house I grew up in and my oldest brother had run ins with one like this that would stand on his hind legs and chatter his teeth.

It’s mostly G talking to himself, but I’m an avid consumer
