The Blue Robin's Nest of Dixmont

Editor's Note: This afternoon I stepped outside and a robin-size bluebird when flying by just above my head level. That was new. I'd never seen a bluebird that size. I watched the bird land in a nearby tree and walked over to get a closer look. Turns out, it was a robin flying with a mouthful of blue strands from an old blue nylon tarp. The robin is using the blue strands to make a nest. That's a first for me!
