Birds

These four images were taken in differerent places: the first robin was shot in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Though it was September, you can already see snow on the mountain in the background. I liked the way this robin was poised in the branch of the dead tree.





The second image was out our kitchen window in Newton, Massachusetts (near Boston.) We watched this baby robin and siblings hatch in a nest just outside our window. Over weeks, we watched both parents feeding these babies. This was the runt of the litter; its siblings had all previously flown off. This shot was taken just before its first, very tentative, flight.


These storks were shot in Zamora, Spain. It was thrilling to see this nest above one of Zamora's many churches and to watch these storks during our visit.








These finches were shot in an indoor butterfly garden in Key West, Florida.
