Hi Tweeters,
Joy of joys, we have a pair of violet green swallows that started moving into our new nest box yesterday.

We also have a robin trying to build a nest up on the beam supporting our veranda roof. I am concerned because we have had baby junkos fall to their demise. I read that robins are used to nesting on ledges but there is a concrete patio 15' below. Should I discourage her from building there?

She cannot seem to make up her mind where to build it either. There are about 12 open areas and she is putting nesting material in about 8 of them.
