Clever Bird.

5-15-10 VERMONT: Windy and cool today, excellent for keeping the black flies at bay. I picked up debris, weeded, pruned, trimmed and had a good time.

An enterprising robin has nested under the eaves in a sheltered corner of the house on top of a lantern near the kitchen window. She built the nest while we were away. She’s very cautious, and now everytime she sees me open the refrigerator, off she goes. She does return promptly and may adjust to kitchen activity.

In bloom: [a few I overlooked yesterday] ajuga, columbine, indian cucumber, jill-over-the-ground, lamium-pink, Mohigan viburnum.


Attention blue fans: Forget-Me-Not and Virginia Blue Bells.

Robin Hooded by eaves.
