This being the begining of Spring, the Robins are out in droves.
And each robin is looking for a mate.
As you all know girly girls try to play hard to get and some of them gents can get a wee bit demanding.
Well these two caught my eye and my camera’s eye.
They were keeping their distance from each other but at the same time, moving along the same path.
There is a very slight differnce between the male and female robins and one that I , unless looking at specific photos, can not tell the difference.
Therefor, I clicked a pic of each and continued looking at them.
They hung around each other, again one taking one side of the garden, while the other took the other…..always following each other within a distance .
Until, one decided this game of following at a distance was annoying, hence he/she attacked…
The whole incident happened too quickly, hence I didn’t have enough time to change my settings.
Instead I just chose to shoot and shoot some more.
This whole incident took, maybe a few seconds, and then they both flew away.
I am sure there is a soap opera in the works but I will probably not see it (neither will you) ð
I don’t care what your settings ended up… I love that last picture. I grew up in Indiana. Been in Las Vegas the last 10 years. I miss the Robins.
Thank you Paul. These birds are prevelant around this area, as you already know. But what I did not know is the fact that they are not in your area. ð
Amazing what we can see from our homes!
As long as we are looking, which is what photography has done for me…always looking ð
Wow nice captures , I like them all have never seen them so aggressive
Thank you Thomas ð
Fantastic shots, Camellia! Love the last photo, too with the wings spread out!!
I just wish it was a little more clear. There is motion blur in there that doesn’t allow their features to show up.
Great to watch and capture Camellia, our Robins are hugely territorial right now, spending more time chasing than eating or courting ð
That is what I have noticed here as well. I have yet to put out feed for them but they are definitely hanging around.
Wow! Very cool – reminds me of a Republican primary!
ðð You would got there.
No choice – they’ve come here!ðĪŠðĪŠðĪŠðĪŠ
