I had a nest of them in my cherry tree a couple years back that I could watch as they grew up. I happened to be there when they fledged. It was kind of exciting. Here's a couple of pictures I took back then. The next year a Robin used that exact spot for her nest. I have pictures of them too.

I am surprised a robin would use a dove nest! Here the dove nests are very casually made and sloppy! Robins usually like a tighter nest!
