On the nest

There was a horrible commotion outside my bedroom window this morning where a robin makes its next in this lilac bush. At least a half-dozen birds were diving in and out through the leaves and making as much noise as they could. I worried that a cat might have gotten into the bush going after the chicks on the nest, so I crept on it this afternoon to check.

She's not easy to see through the leaves, but momma robin is still there.
