There is a Robin’s nest in my (rural) carport that has been used for numerous years by Robins and there have been multiple broods in any given year. One year the nest fell down but it was rebuilt by a better nest builder. Right now there is a second batch incubating or hatched; I can’t quite tell yet. There is lots of commotion in the carport as she is sharing it with a family of Barn Swallows with five little ones who have just fledged, but keep coming back to the rafters to roost.

A pair that nested under our covered patio one year raised two batches in the same nest. On Sun, Jun 28, 2015 at 2:13 PM, Marie P.

Haven't yet got a good look at exactly what material she is bringing in.
