Folks:

I asked in May if people on the net had noticed House Finches raising 
successive broods from a single nest.  I had responses of three and two 
broods:

Three broods:

William Cabot reported a high of three successive broods in a nest under 
the eves of his home in Livermore that has been used for several years.

Two broods:

Bobbie Stacy has had two successive broods by May 2004 in a nest in a 
hanging bird feeder outside here dining room window.

Next question: American Robins are famous for placing their nests in 
unusual places.  They will use structures as readily as trees and, where 
there are no trees, they will use the ground.  Structures, or course, 
include any appropriate structure on the outside of a house, but sometimes 
shelves inside garages, pots, a swinging gate used daily.  Does anyone on 
SBB have a description of a robin nest that they think is unusual?  Please 
send details to me and I will summarize for the group.

Bill
