Our Robins Above Our Front Door

Last June, one Robin was born above my front door.
I named her Olympia in honor of the athletes competing in the FINA WORLD Artistic Swimming Championships.
We are hoping they will be added to the Olympics.
Since I am the coach of the first male in the sport and he won the first gold medal in the event in Kazan Russia.
I feel this is a blessing and a sign, especially since Olympia came back this year and gave us three chicks we named Golden, Silver, and Bronze!
I have a lot of lovely pictures of them I took from behind the window in my dark garage.
Golden, Silver, and Bronze
I never used my front door while they were nesting above it, I always just used my garage.
I enjoyed watching them through the entire nesting process.
Olympia was here much longer than the chicks, Olympia and Poseidon I should say.
After they left, which was two days after Mother’s Day :( . I waited a few days then cleaned away everything.
A week later Olympia and Poseidon started building
again! Here she is sitting on the eggs.
Within four days they had a new nest and now are on round two!
