Description
This American robin was taking care of its two offspring several stories above ground. It was observed on the sill through a small window of James Oliver’s Curwood Castle overlooking the Shiawassee River in Owosso, Michigan, June 8, 2019.
Curwood Castle, located in Curwood Castle Park,stands on the banks of the Shiawassee River. It served as the writing studio of James Oliver Curwood, one of America’s foremost authors of adventure novels and an early advocate of environmental conservation. Set in Owosso, among one of the richest collections of historic homes and buildings in the Midwest, this replica of a Norman chateau was completed in 1923. The beautiful castle was used by Curwood until his death in 1927.
