p.1 #1It's just the Robin ......
I guess I have a soft spot for the common birds as they always seem to offer endless possibilities as the seasons change their environment and habits
So here is the very common American Robin in a few looks as they prepare for a new family. Not often do I see the male and female together, could never tell one from the other if they were separate !
C&C as you wish
Sony A1 with Sony 400-800 always handheld shooting for me

Hi Karl,
Your nest photos are great. A step or two to the left or right might have gotten those bright leaves out from behind the Robin in the second image. The squirrel image is sweet.

Nice robin images Karl. The bird may be common but your captures aren't!

These are beautiful. The nesting shots and the inaction between the pair is so wonderful ! Nothing common about any of these . Hope all is well .

I got lucky on this pose, they were not together for long! Thanks and maybe you can use this as a posing guide for the studio

Yes, I can see where the expression "watch the birdie" came from.
