Cuppa took videos, and we probably still have them somewhere. They were on tape, before the digital age (at least in terms of photography) got underway.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-63331563677960241672011-05-15T09:13:03.725-04:002011-05-15T09:13:03.725-04:00Thanks Possum & Daisy, we will keep the blog u...Thanks Possum & Daisy, we will keep the blog updated if we can get a few more shots when we come home.Beatrice P.

Luckily, this nest is in a short cedar tree. I can stand next to it an look in. Thankfully, the parents were away when the photos were taken, but I'm sure they were close by. The camera was a new Canon S130IS with macro capability. Easy to handhold and get it close.<br /><br />Christer, yes these are American Robins and the eggs were that blue and beautiful. I agree that these young are not beautiful, but within a couple of weeks they will be good looking fledglings. I hope they will survive to adulthood as we have several cats (neighbors that prowl around). When the birds fledge and leave the nest (sometimes fall out) they are quite vulnerable. We're away next week, and when we return home their growth will be amazing.Beatrice P.

I´ve never seen a robins nest and How wonderful blue those eggs are. I guess this is an american Robin? If I remember right our robins look a bit different and I wonder if our robins have those beautiful blue colored eggs too.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Christer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-27790953741204704012011-05-14T23:56:52.030-04:002011-05-14T23:56:52.030-04:00Great post!
