Birds nesting on my house!

Here we can see the butts of two pigeons who have decided that the eaves of my house, above the porch, are an acceptable substitute for a cliff face. It looks like some previous owner built a little box on this spot (the mirror-image side of the porch doesn't have this box) ...perhaps that person really loved the oh-so-melodious sounds of pigeons courting?

Meanwhile, on the side of the house, a robin has raided the recycling to make a cushy nest of used tissues.
There also seems to be a house finch pair trying to nest in the rafters above the porch, but it was so high up I didn't get a picture.

Looking forward to seeing some babies!
