21. The robins in my neighborhood

Fri Jun 5, 2026, 08:18 PM

Friday

build their nests in the sloped portion of our gutters, they have for years.

I have a Canadian Birch and it's quite large. But the squirrels have prime HOA real estate in this tree. I have both orioles and hummingbirds that use the tree as a hang out but I can't confirm if they have nests in it or not.

I literally have a hummingbird (every summer) who hangs out in this tree and waits for other hummingbirds to get to the feeder. Then he or she swoops down and chases other hummingbirds away from the feeder. I keep the feeders away from the driveway because of the vehicles so I can't really move the feeders away from the tree.

It can be comical at times. lol
