It is very deep and well supported in the crux of a tree.

I think you just helped me identify the greenish blue I that I found on the ground under an oak tree this morning.

Beautiful...will you be able to keep a watch on the chicks when they hatch? At least one person on another continent (me!) is hoping to catch a glimpse of three new baby robins.

I couldn't believe seeing it. So low to the ground. I will have to walk a new path so I don't disturb her and her young ones. Thanks.
