What is building this nest...???

Well we never see 'blackbirds' to speak of. We have tons of redwings but they don't have the brown chest. We have robins every year nest in a spot where we are quite active and it really doesn't seem to matter to them. If I walk near their nest it is only about a foot away and a foot above eye level. Most years we get two nests and have had as many of three in one year.

We have a lot of mockingbirds in our neighborhood, and a 65' wide chinese elm in the backyard. The mockingbirds love it, but when they have young in the nest they are VERY aggressive. If you just walk into the backyard they will dive bomb you. During nesting season, my poor dog lives in fear for his life during the daytime. He goes about a foot off the patio to pee then runs back in the doggie door, pursued by an irate mockingbird. They don't bother you at night, though, so it isn't much of a problem because in the summer it is too danged hot to go out there in daylight anyway!

We have mocking birds around all summer and they do get aggressive but they hang around the front yard and our dogs go in the back where their yard is so no problem. They pester the cat some but not too much - they need to be careful or they'll be her lunch.
 
Oh well, I though in updating this thread with the last news, and no, I don't have any young chicks asking for food, instead I don't have anything in there, anymore...!

I think the black bird realise that, it wasn't going to be a good idea and stop coming to the nest. In fact I spotted a new spot where the bird built another nest, this time away from movement, noise, etc., it is on the firewood pile shed, on the green wood side so, most safe...!

I removed all the nest material and clean the area so, there is no signs that a nest was ever there, life goes on...!:wink::biggrin:
