We didn't get too much work done (except for the deck) over the two weeks the robins raised their young. They were fascinating to watch.
I actually left my XMas wreaths up the next two years but no luck. They did come back and investigate the wreath the next year but we were baby sitting our son's Lab and his voice and energy was too much for the robins.
