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!
