Hi, CJ, this showed up in random pics and i couldn't figure out from the rpofile what it was so i gave a click..what an amazing scene awaited me! This mother bird, covered with rain, protecting her little ones from exposure..who among us have ever seen such a thing close up? Like everyone else, i'm sure, i've always wondered where the birds go in the snow and the rain and the bitter cold..how they manage to survive since they don't have burrows and barns to hide away in. This image of mama with her protective shield of water repellant feathers spread out over her nest tells me so much. Congratulations on an old but still lovely image..best regards from Costa Rica: kat~

I love the idea of the string that you captured..the bird fixing the nest up for the family. Wonderful!

This is a very nice behavioral shot. The mother sitting the nest protecting the brood from the rain. The leaves in the forground depicting the seclusion the parents chose this location for in the first place. This tells a very nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Hello:
When looking at the thumbnail, I couldn't quite make out what it was. I like the idea, but think that the eye of the Robin should be sharp in focus, after all, it's a portrait. I also find the leaves in the foreground distracting, but I guess there is not much you can do about that.
