Excellent, Christine! I like the first shot best. Great detail. That 60-250 is impressively sharp, isn't it? -- Walt On 5/18/2013 9:53 AM, Christine Nielsen wrote: A robin family built a nest in a bush right outside our back door, practically on top of the driveway. I have been watching mam

Thanks, Marnie. I agree with you - the second is pretty cluttered, but it was the best angle I got on all 4 of them. And, I did attempt to clone out the near, blurry branch... but it is tricky. Decided to burn it in a bit for now, maybe I'll take another shot at cloning... (I wonder, for those

First one is a definite A. Second a little too much obscures. You know since the first is a real winner, if it was me, I'd simply clone out (with nest material) the out of focus branch that detracts from the baby's head. Or, at least, I'd try. Might be difficult. Marnie aka Doe :-) In

Really! You mean I missed the shoving part, then? Darn! I hope that is the case, though... I see adult robins in the yard (same ones? who knows...), foraging for worms & flying them off... :) -c On Sat, May 18, 2013 at 11:52 AM, John Sessoms wrote: > From: Christine Nielsen > >> A robin fami

Nice shot, Christine. I had a similar experience a couple springs back when a Robin pair was attempting to nest in a tree near the front of our house. Two Scrub Jays  hassled the Robin pair continuously.They tore down the nest, injured one Robin and drove off the other. Was rough to watch. Last
