American Robin Chicks
Nikon D5300 | Tamron 150-300mm | @150mm | 1/250 | f/16 | ISO 640
This nest of American robin chicks is on top of a trellis across the street from my house. I noticed it yesterday and went over to check it out. There were three chicks in the nest and the parents were close by on the ground. I found it interesting that the adult pair chose to build the nest on top of the trellis. It is located near the street and there is no overhead protection, so the chicks are exposed to all of the elements. It will be interesting to watch these birds as they grow to see how they get along in such an open area.
In My Eyes 
OK, seriously cute. Beautiful shot, as always. Interesting how we find some of the best stuff by accident. Or maybe it’s just after a while we learn how to be where the “accidents” happen. I’d be worried about predators if I were those robin parents. But maybe they’re not an issue there. Keep us posted!

I think predators might be an issue; there are hawks and cats in the neighborhood. I will certainly keep my eye out to see how they are getting along.

Love how the one has its chin resting on the edge of the nest like it’s bored or something:) Great shot Stephanie! Hope they all make it.
