The Ballad of Warren the Robin (as told by my 8 yr old son)

Once upon a time, a pair of robins built a nest in a tree right outside my sister�s window. One day we spotted some blue eggs in the nest, which soon hatched into 4 robin chicks. My sister and I named them Flower, Blossom, Jackson, and Warren.

Awesome!

Thanks all! I'm pretty sure that Coopers Hawk got Warren too. But don't tell my kids!

And yes, the light was generally awful, but it was such a treat to have them.

This would make a good childrens book but I think they prefer happier endings...

Excellent job on the photography and you get extra credit for the story line

What a fantastic set, Jim! The commentary was equally as enjoyable as the images.

Cute story, Jim. It pays to be the chick with the longest neck and biggest mouth, except when a hawk is around.

Thanks Tony!

Question for anyone looking, are these images are too big for easy viewing? I just started posting, and I'm wondering if I should downsize future posts a bit?

They are a tad large, especially the vertical ones.

This was better than a Ken Burns series Jim.

Excellent photography documenting Warren's growth and the storyline was impressive too.

Thanks Jim... very well done.

Kirk

P.S. Agree with Tony on the size.

Hi Jim! You did a great job shooting this series in the canopy of light within the tree. You have a nice color balance and a very natural intimate feel in these. Well done and I really enjoyed the whole set

The image size is a bit large yet, 900 on the longest might be better to try

Most excellent shots---there's a sense of intimacy in them that is really nice.

This is a real nice series on the family life of robins, both the good and the bad. Both well photographed and well told.
