Robin's Rest

I almost didn't get this one! I opened the front door to leave for some errands and spotted this robin on the mailbox. But I needed a "long lens" for this shot, and it was in the basement. I stood at the door for a few moments, trying to guess what chance I might have for going to the basement, getting the telephoto lens, coming back upstairs, opening the door again, and wondering if the robin would still be there. I thought I would take a chance, and the robin stayed on the mailbox. I was thrilled. I have no idea why a robin would want to sit on a mailbox near the fern bank.
It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Beautiful shot! Just lovely. And why the bird on the mail box - because he was waiting for the Burpee Seed catalog?
Maybe he is trying to convince the Post Office that a Robin would be a better marketing symbol than an Eagle.
Beautiful photo. Maybe if you leave the door open he can build his nest.

It has been Sam's experience that such birds, however beautiful and often sonorous, are really just waiting for a really clean car to come along.
Wow! A bird photo and I get four comments! Animals Rule! Thanks to all of you!
