    I'm always surprised how they still sense us looking through the glass.

    Here's hoping that there are no cats or other predators in the vicinity!

    Unfortunately the Vet next door maintains a feral cat population in our area.

    Lucky for the robin, our four dogs cause the cats to avoid us. I've quarantined the front porch from all but the postman for now and hope for the best.
