4/21/06 - Nesting Robin

It's been a long time since I've posted a "critter" PAD. Here's a critter in her pad. It's a robin (I think, judging by the bit of red breast showing & the fact that this is exactly where/how they built at our previous home) with a nest under the neighbor's deck. Shot with a 300mm lens + 1.4x TC for the 35mm equivalent of 630mm - from a distance of about 10 feet or less.
Dirty beak. Guess that's what comes from digging for worms.
The robin saved neighbor from today's "honey-do" - power wash the deck. His wife agreed.

So very different from European robins, but beautiful all the same. Chris
