I was finally able to get a photo of the Mama Robin on her nest. She built it on my back porch in a wreath I had yet to take down.
Lots of stealthing involved to get this not very good photo, as she is very diligent and isn't too sure about the family that keeps coming out the back door that is just to the left of her digs out of the photo. We do try to use the front, but always need to take the dogs out the back, just 'cause that's what they are used to and don't like to change that routine! They are, of course, oblivious to her presence, and probably wonder why we keep rushing them off the porch. But she does make an excellent watch bird. and the job is hers as long as necessary! And there she is in profile in the huge Norwegian Pine along the side of the drive.

That is SO sweet! Good job on your stealth; it's so rewarding when you finally get that shot!
