Now that migration is coming to a close, some birds are already getting ready to hatch out their second batch. This A. Robin (T. migratorius) seems to be doing just that. This bird made trip after trip to a leaf-filled gutter carrying away beak-fulls of muddy nesting material, while a fledgling perched nearby ready with begging calls every time the adult passed overhead.
Something I wonder sometimes is who actually gave the American Robin its binomial name...
