Thanks E, Great video,
I was thinking while I was watching it that the nest and everything about it looked very blackbird, and checked, it is a Turdus very closely related to our European blackbird. It should be called the American Thrush not Robin.

I guess 'Robin ' sounds less like a medical condition to the American ear!

What a ripper of a video, just imagine the editing to condense 4 weeks into 3 and a half minutes.

Interesting to note the main diet fed to the chicks looked like earthworms and a small berry.
