A rustic bird nest made of dry twigs rests on dirt among forest debris.

This robin’s nest overwintered in a sheltered spot up high under our porch. In fall, when the fledglings flew away, we figured we would leave it there in case someone wanted to “rent” it this year.

And then, a massive gust of April wind knocked it down.

Now we’re not sure what to do with it.

Do robins reuse their nests?
Will some other bird use it?
Will birds come and gather construction supplies from it?
Should we stick it back up where it was, or move it to a nearby tree, and see what happens?
