I have never vlogged before.  Lol.

So I woke up this morning to discover a bird's nest in the eves of our patio cover!  The birds appear to be American Robins (I didn't know they lived here, but apparently they do!), and both of the pair have been working on the nest over today (it wasn't here yesterday).  Dubbed "Mama" and "Papa", they are both VERY shy and hard to catch on video-- I was afraid my observing presence this morning had frightened them away, as they were gone for most of the day, however recently one of them reappeared and settled down in the nest!  I believe it to be Mama, but I haven't gotten familiar enough with them to tell them apart yet-- they both look quite similar.  I tried to get another video, but she spotted me and took off again-- I expect she'll get used to me observing her eventually, but for right now, getting a good video of her (and Papa) may be difficult.  But if I can find a way to film them without disturbing them, you can bet I will!

No eggs or chicks yet, that we know of.  The nest was just built today, so I expect we won't see them for a bit yet.
