Interesting. I was monitoring a bluebird nest at Fort Niobrara refuge. It had 5 nestlings about to fledge. A week later I expected to remove the old nest, soiled during the last day before the chicks fledged. Instead I found 2 new bluebird eggs. I don't know if it was the same pair or a new pair, but I did not expect any birds to want to "reuse" a nest so recently used.

I learned something new today. I did not think birds ever reused a nest, but I have a Robin adding to a nest from which three fledged a week ago. Good location with wind and shade protection so she’s refurbishing the old.
