Well I sprayed the poison ivy AND the few honeysuckle vines with Round-Up. Today I went out to pull the dead dry honeysuckle vines and found 2 brand new Robin hatchlings and t bright blue eggs in a (now, thanks to me) completely exposed nest. I cut some other honeysuckle vines and wove them in the dead branches to make a little umbrella or to somewhat camouflage the nest. Oh I hope I haven't doomed these babies. And, now I know why the Robin has been chasing the Bluebirds away from one of their look out trees. I never realized how closely different birds would nest.. Here's a picture of the Robin babies. Guess I'll be putting up fresh vines for the next week or so unless anyone has a better suggestion for me. |
