nest was begun yet when she began it she must have
expected to deposit them within a few days, such, at least,
being customary with birds of her species.
  Another Robin at the Farm built ten or a dozen almost
equally trashy nests under the eaves of the Bungalow, taking
material first into one space between supporting roof timbers
and then into another, evidently being unable to distinguish
between these precisely similar places. She, too, worked for
at least a couple of weeks and then gave it up without
laying in any one of the nests, probably because she was so
often disturbed by members of my farmer's family. A
third bird nested in a grape vine that clings to the pigeon
house and a fourth built in an apple tree in the
orchard. Both these reared their first broods. A bird that
nested first in an oak over the road & next in a pine
in front of the Bungalow was unsuccessful both times.
