I have just come on the list as an amateur seeking advice. I have a
robin's nest in a juniper/cedar type shrub beside my house. With a recent
torrential downpour this nest is now hanging precariously and is partially
disintegrated. This morning I discovered one of the three eggs on the
ground and the other two look destined for there, also, without some
intervention. (Mother is still brooding.) I had thought of making a three
pronged crotch-type support to prop underneath. Another idea is to quickly
substitute an abandoned nest I know of for this one. Should any assistance
be considered? I would appreciate your advice.
