I was prepping my 2nd floor windows from inside the house for painting when I heard a commotion in one of my holly trees. I search the trees for any motion and then I caught some movement... there it was below and to the left of my window about 25-30 feet away.. a nesting robin family that was partially obscured by some leaves. Luckily there was a slight breeze that gently moved the leaves back and forth giving me a teasingly short view of the robin family all together. I timed the winds movement of the leaves and took the following photos. I'll need to get my step ladder out and try to trim some leaves when both are away from the nest to get a better line of sight to the nest.
Canon 40D DSLR camera - Handheld
Canon 70-200mm lens w/1.4 Tele-Extender (280mm)

The US Robins looks different from the UK Robins. Apart from the red breast
