Great photos as always! I love the baby robin :)
ReplyDeleteWhere are all of these photos taken? Is that all in your yard?!?
ReplyDeleteThe wrens made a nest in a pot on my deck. The owl is in my backyard. The robins' nest is in another yard.
DeleteHow wonderful! I spotted a nest on a lamp underneath a road overhang the other day. A furry sensible and safe place for a nest!
ReplyDeleteamazing pictures. baby owl is so cute. but has the same look as an adult owl.
ReplyDeletenumb inducing
While unpacking our boxes, I found the perfect basket to hang on one of our trees for some bird family to live in. I love your photos!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love that baby hatchling. How great that you were able to catch that action AND get that close. Great eye.
ReplyDeleteI like the color of the robin's eggs. My mind went straight to what I can create with that color.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the baby robin is too cute! It looks like he's yelling at his brothers/sisters to hurry up and hatch :)
ReplyDeleteLove the color of robin's egg blue!
I have always robin egg blue! So pretty an bright! I love your photos. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteseeing those beautiful blue robin's eggs, i have no doubt that was inspiration for those beautiful tiffany blue boxes! the sight of eggs in a nest make me think of vulnerability, and of hope. thanks for sharing these lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThe baby bird photo is priceless! Great collection of photos as always.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are lovely - thank you! The eggs are so beautiful, I have never seen such eggs live. Well, we do not have robins... And I love the owl. I have only seen owls twice, and each time it was at night; photos were not good. It is nice to see Barry so clearly.
ReplyDeletePerfect for N!! I'm glad you provided the links -- it was fun reading back over your original posts. In the wren nest -- maybe mama didn't quite make it into the nest in time for that first egg!! Love that sweet little robin, and Barry.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the birds and their nests!
ReplyDeleteStunning photos. What amazing shots. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! I love the one of the hatched baby robin - that is brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteThose were lovely photos - especially that newly-hatched robin!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are wonderful, but the one of the baby robin is precious! These could be photo post cards--really memorable!
ReplyDeleteOh wow.
ReplyDeleteI loved the owl sitting on the crate...not quite as artistic and natural as the robin pictures, but I always enjoy seeing nature adapt to our invasion.
The robins egg nest picture is my favorite.
Lovely colors!
Thanks for sharing this nifty post.
A+
I love that robin's egg blue! And the baby is so cute! Once in a while, in the springtime, I'll find the shells of a robin's egg on the ground & it's always pretty exciting to me - mysterious, too since I can't see the nests high in the trees!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! All!
