A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the ... Helmet?

Senior Researcher Klaus Lorenz spotted a guest outside Kottman Hall in early May of 2024. A robin chose a cozy bike helmet left by SENR students to lay her eggs in. 

By all accounts the babies safely hatched a few weeks later. Hopefully, they can grow up to become excellent stewards of their environment with the benefit of nearby education!
