Image
Young boy inspecting a robin's nest on the engine of a Farmall H tractor. Original caption reads: "Spring-time on the farm. Even though his father uses this tractor every morning for filling silage wagons, mama robin persisted in building her nest and laying her eggs next to the engine block. The eggs hatched and the young robins eventually grew and flew."
