Question:
Do female robins use a nest more than once?
Do they lay eggs more than once a season?
If they migrate do they lay eggs in the new location?
Replies:
Songbirds, including robins, may nest 2 or in southern locations even 3
times a year, but build a new nest for each brood. Migrants usually move
between nesting areas and wintering areas, or other out-of-breeding area
locations, so do not lay eggs elsewhere.
