A very angry robin yelled at me the entire time I was trying to take this shot outside of Ottawa High School.

Yeah, I’d be pretty angry too if you were hanging around, peeking in the windows and taking pictures! Beautiful shot, though.
She stood on the branch of a nearby tree with her wings on her hips calling me names. My husband tried to explain that she shouldn’t have built the nest so close to the front door of a high school, but she didn’t want to hear it.
The eggs are quite beautiful – they look like the ones my grandkids colored!
They *are* beautiful. Jim’s comment when he saw them was, “Wow, now I really know what they mean by ‘robin’s egg blue.'”
Gorgeous shot! Worth being yelled at for a little bit. 🙂
I hate to think what mama bird is going through right now, since she built her nest next to the front door of a high school.

Once upon a long-time-ago I chased birds in my front yard. I was SO excited when I caught one. However, what 4 year old me didn’t realize was that it was a baby and didn’t know how to fly. I ran to the front door, cuddling it in my hands, and yelling for my mom- I was so proud! She didn’t believe me and when she saw that I had, in fact, caught a bird, she freaked out. That’s right about when the mother came in for a dive-bomb attack on my head.
We couldn’t use the front door for the rest of the day, as she was hunting us. I think I have mostly blocked this part out, but when my mom started yelling at me a part of me thinks I did what any 4-year old would, drop whatever I had and run. ;-/
I am traumatized just reading this comment! Poor widdle Natasha! Poor widdle baby bird!
