This youthful robin was just sitting in this pine tree, looking bewildered. I got pretty close to it and all it did was look around. I don't know if something was wrong with it or what.

I think it is because of the mating season Jiimbob.They behave strangely during these weeks/months. Nice and clear shot of the robin.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Maybe it was enjoying the view and the smell of the pine tree. That's what I would do. LOL. Great shot, Jim.

I'm sorry, Jimbob, but inactivity in a young Robin is one of the early symptoms of avian flu. In recent studies the avian flu has mutated into an airborne virus; so hopefully you didn't get within the LETHAL ZONE which is about 30 feet. Additionally, rabies which was a disease limited to mammals, has been seen in young robins. It is characterized by splotches of patterns on the chest and abnormally distinct eye highlights before the typical symptoms like frothing at the beak assert themselves. Unfortunately this very ill specimen was probably too weak and disoriented to move. You should start feeling symptoms within a few days. It was a pleasure knowing you, Jim. Can I have your telephoto lens?

Very lovely and expressive fellow, cute capture Jim! Some birds have no fear of human beings, some I can come very very close to take photos and they look at me like studing this strange human pointing a strange object to them making strange sounds, this means: me and the cam, I try to have crazy talks with them lol, it works!lol

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

Just an incredable shot. Very sharp, seems almost 3d. Great Job.

It probably could not believe what it was seeing coming at him! Possible danger can be a scary thing when it comes wearing flip-flops and a sleevless t-shirt!!!

Nice shot, Jim. Are you sure it's real? Some people (Cindy) have a tendancy to use fake birds in their photos. :)

Jimbob - This very young robin trusted you. Terrific capture; the dof is spot on, with the sparkled dappled sunlight in the background. Thad

I like the dof on this shot. He appears to be a baby robin, Jim. Doesn't have a clue yet.
