Man-made Tree

For the 30 Days Wild theme...

Sometimes the wild things make use of their human neighbor's things.

(Obviously this semi doesn't do a lot of moving. I'm working for the man who owns this truck, helping him sell a bunch of his old equipment. I was hoping the baby robins would be grown and gone by the time this truck was put on the website. Thankfully they are.)

What a cool find Denise!

[Deb]

Very resourceful bird! Looks great in b&w!

[Julie Cortens]

Very interesting. I wonder what would possess a robin to build her nest in such a place.

[jackie edwards]

good that they didn't need very long...now I hope he sells his truck!

[Cathy]

Cool find!

[Larry L]

nice!

[Darinka]

Great find and capture!

[Rick]

Wow, that is really cool. Cant believe that they would build a nest there. As you said, good thing he wasn't using the truck at the time.

[Taffy]

how interesting! The robin has totally taken over the window area so I'm glad to read that the truck isn't likely to be moving soon.

[KWind]

How crazy is that! Great shot.

[Emiko]

Great found, Denise! Very interesting!

[AmyJ]

[Dianne]

[Joan Robillard]

Is that a nest?

Cool shot.

[vstap]

Cool unexpected find! Love the industrial meets nature!

[Corey Lablans]

That is pretty awesome, good photography opportunity and juxtaposition.

[Brenda]

It is truly amazing where birds can build their nests. Glad they were gone in time.

[Pam]

What a neat find! It amazes how robins can build their nest anywhere. I like the black and white treatment.

[Chris K]

wonderful shot. My husband who worked for steel pipe company was unable to sell a bundle of large steel pipes because a Curlew had made a nest inside and they had to wait till the babies hatched and moved on.

[Julia]

so interesting to see a bird's nest there!

[Issi Bannerman]

A resourceful bird, and a resourceful photographer! Great find and a lovely capture.

@joansmor That it is, Joan. It's empty now but there were babies in it about a month ago.

Fav for the image and the story both.
