That's an interesting capture!
 
Beautiful!!!

Did you know that fledgling robins spend about a week on the ground after leaving the nest? They are very vulnerable to predators during this stage of their development. Raccoons, foxes, dogs, house cats, hawks, crows, all seem to have an eye out for fledgling robs' like this little one!
 
Thanks guys.

Derrel: Yes, I can see that. Actually there were 2 Juvenile Robins on the ground at the time when I took the photo. They can't fly nor run fast. Just hopping around slowly and make noise. And the adult Robins were around, but they keep a good distance from me even I was few feet from their children.
 
Nice title and of course impressive shot, Dao.
Derrel thanks for that information. I wonder why fledgling robins do that?:scratch:
 
Awesome shot! How close/far away were you?

Thanks! I am not 100% sure exactly how far, I will say it is about 15 feet. The photo was taken with focal length around 270mm.
