Finally spring is arriving and the snow is gone. Robins and mating and everybody is happy. All but this worm. This is his last view.

A last shot before it flew off.

Hi, Bynx. I really don't care for the first shot. It is obviously a bird but the head-on shot with the bright orange background make it difficult to tell what kind of bird it it. Your second shot is great. I like the way the robin is "peeking" from behind the tree trunk.

The side shot is pretty common type of shot. But the head on shot is rather unusual. By the time the bird is looking at you like that its well on its way skyward. Unless you are a worm of course.

Congratulations on this striking shot. It's easy enough to have a cat freeze while looking at you, but amazing for a bird. How far away were you, and were you disguised?

I was about 4 feet away Alan. I was hiding behind some paper stuck on the glass wall with a hole for shooting through. All the bird pics are never cropped.

Great shots. The first bird looks pretty angry. LOL

I think the expression on the first shot is priceless. I wouldn't want to be a worm. I also love the side view of the robin. What a great idea of shooting through a shield. The birds at my feeder are always flying away as soon as they see me.
