Robins often return to the same nesting site, they also can have 2-3 clutches of eggs in a year. Our robins built a nest lower down in the tree, unfortunately the eggs and nest were destroyed, probably by squirrels (evil neighbourhood squirrels). The robin cam captures the life in a second nest built by the same robins (I believe) higher up in the tree. I hope that our robins return soon!
During the spring of 2010 a Robin pair nested in a tree outside our front window. We set up a Robin Cam to capture images and share them with our family and friends. This project will consist of 50 paintings depicting the robins over a 6 week period, from egg to flight. Mixed media artist Heather Cline is happy to present 'Robin Cam' a selection of the paintings with unusual robin facts.
