A pair of American Robins has their nest on top of the machinery, an engine, I think, that powers a scaffold on a construction site at ONU. As the scaffold hasn't moved in about a week, the birds have what no doubt looks to them to be a really great shelter - a tight space, well-covered and protected from the rain, and hidden from raptors and cats. Unfortunately, I'm betting they're going to move that scaffold before they fledge any young.
