A Clean Nest

This is the robin's nest that was the source of all the fuss this past Spring.  This nest was situated in the branches of the evergreen clematis by our door, and after all of the baby birds flew away, I was anxious to see their nest home.

With all of the bird poo beneath (and let's not forget the projectile poo on my window!) I imagined that the nest was going to be messy.  At least, I imagined there would be some feathers and maybe some bits of egg shell littering the nest.  But this is how it looks--perfectly clean!  I'm actually in awe of the tidy house this mother bird kept.  She laid three eggs, hatched three baby birds, and then spent weeks feeding them and there isn't a crumb!  Pretty impressive.
