Activity 3 The robin is one of my favorites.  In my yard they are the harbingers of spring when I hear their voices singing early in the morning.  I typically have one couple every  year build a nest on the downspout to raise a family.  This year they needed to share their space with a couple of house sparrows after I blocked the gutters and other spaces where the sparrows were nesting.  At first it was a battle over who would win the spot, but they seemed to reach a truce.  A duplex was built with the shorter robin's nest against my house and the house sparrow nest (2 stories high compared to the robin nest) forming a wall and protecting the other from the elements.
