Killing Two Days with One Post

Yesterday:  Growth

Checked on 'my' robins yesterday.  Mama's family is growing.  There's now 4 eggs in the nest.  Since I first saw them everything's been rearranged to accomodate the 4th egg and they've all been turned.  :)

Very pretty bird! And very sharp picture. I never have this much success when trying to shoot my cats.

They just don't want to sit still when I bring out the camera. *g* Also, the flash does awful things to their eyes. *shudders*

The bird picture is amazing, it's got such lovely colours and it's so clear and sharp.

Love the bird shot, especially how you caught the little band on its leg.

My dad sent me the following photo this morning:



Apparently it nested in the glovebox of his tractor. What are these robins thinking?
