I could see where you might think that these were orioles, but, no, they are robins. I think Orioles tend tonest higher so PaDrs llike me can't peek into their bedrooms =]

Fantastic! Are these orioles?

Anna Yu		11-May-2004 16:39
Did you have to climb up high to get this shot? It's a fantastic picture, even though they're not so pretty yet.

John Buffin		11-May-2004 01:27
Love the commentary. Nice shot too.

Susan		10-May-2004 14:27
They are blushing 'cause they are ladies, and they are shy ... haha.

Mike Johnson		10-May-2004 03:23
What a great moment to capture. How did you capture this at that angle?

Karen Leaf		10-May-2004 03:12
They do look a little 'snug' in their nest. Any idea how old? Great shot!

Guest		10-May-2004 02:43
Wow!! What an awesome experience to have the chance to photograph these littel ones! I look for nests everytime we walk but so far, only empties.

snootydog		10-May-2004 02:38
Oh man, this is so special. I would love to track a nest of baby birds from eggs to leaving home but none seem to want to cooperate with that wish of mine. This is just great and I like your perspective.

Guest		10-May-2004 01:44
I want to say HOW CUTE...but they really aren't cute yet, thay are kind of....well....ugly! LOL!! But an AWESOME picture! I look forward to you getting more of these!

Guest		09-May-2004 21:58
What a truly stunning image. I wish I could do that. But I couldn't so I guess I should leave it to the experts. Fantastic

Guest		09-May-2004 20:03

Climbing up trees to get a shot? I've never done that so far.... hmmmm.... I wonder....

Guest		09-May-2004 06:24

They are so cute. Nice that you could get a photo of them to share :)

Adalberto Tiburzi		08-May-2004 20:15
Clever shot, but hard to find beauty in those not being their parents :-)

Guest		08-May-2004 20:10
Any idea of the variety?

Guest		08-May-2004 20:07
Awww, so sweet!!

Chris Brooker		08-May-2004 20:06
That is the way to photograph the beggars when they can’t move. A great shot. I love birds but I find chicks rather horrific.
