Robins build their nests in shrubs, tree forks, or any ledge large enough for the nest.
Their nests are deep cups formed of grass, weeds, cloth, and mud with linings of fine grasses. A robin's nest is around six and a half inches in diameter and three inches high. They tend to lay four eggs with smooth, blue shells. Songs courtesy of John Sauer and Greg Gough.
