OH No!! what have I done??

I have noticed a Robin sitting near the Bluebirds "lookout point". Also last week I noticed some poison ivy growing near a little garden bed. 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.

What a pity that our outdoor cleanup time corresponds with the nesting season. My neighbors clear brush with heavy equipment, and I always cringe, wondering how many nests are destroyed.

Last year the county tree trimmers did their trimming in the spring.

Let this be a valuable lesson to all of us. I hope the young survive.

Birdie, is there any way you could rig up an umbrella to shade that nest, or sit some tall potted plants around it to give more shelter? I hope your little Robin babies survive ... so sad isn't it, when we realize we've made a mistake? I know I've made some blunders myself before, and we do learn from our mistakes. Are the parent birds around? If so, I think the babies will be okay as long as the nest is sheltered from hot sun.

it is right on the top of a fence . I have put some more vine over it, but that will surely wilt and die in a couple of days. I think there is enough old dried up vine that they might be OK. The parents stay close in a tree and Momma is still sitting on the nest...not moving..weird as I would think the 2 that have hatched need feeding, but I do not watch every moment. apparently she is brooding the other two eggs.
I am watching it closely...you can see a clump in this picture just to the right of the dead tree, where there is some lighter green...that is the vine that I added to shelter a bit more.
If the sun does seem to beat down I will rig something over that area and attach to the fence and the tree as a sun shade.
I just cannot believe how close to the Bluebirds she nested. That dogwood snag (the dead tree trunk in the picture) is one of the "lookout" trees that the BB's always use. Of course , now the Robin chases them away and her nest is probably not more than 20 ft from the porch and the BB nest-box. *sigh* I guess they know better than I ^_^
I just hate that I didn't realize why that Robin was hanging around...duh!!

If you look closely near the center you might see Momma Robn's eye and yellow beak. She is not budging. It amazes me how still they are when sitting on their nests!!

It is something how different birds will nest so close together. We have a pair of Downy Woodpeckers that chipped out a nest cavity in a camphor tree in our backyard. It's fun watching the mama and papa birds around the nest. Mama doesn't seem too concerned with me near the tree but the papa bird flitters about and chirps at me, doesn't want me around at all. They both run off the red bellied woodpeckers that come near the tree. I counted 7 bird nests in very close proximity to each other in trees and bushes right nest to this tree and one has a Blue Jay nest. The BJ babies have fledged the nest and I found two sitting side by side on the same branch the woodpeckers are nesting in. The woodpeckers didn't seem to chase the blue jays away at all. Mama or Papa Jay (don't know which) was in the tree watching the babies and watching me, but didn't seem concerned about my presence.

Keep us posted here on your Robin nest. I sure hope all will be okay with that family but as long as the adult birds are staying nearby and on the nest, I'm sure they will be fine. I don't know a lot about Robins but it could be that the papa bird is out foraging for food while mama is tending the nest, or the other way around. Keep watching and you may see one adult bird come in to feed the other, as well as maybe seeing the babies being fed.
