Nest building in the petunias
Jun 26, 2023 11:04:02 #
Well we noticed the robin couple was using my wife's hanging petunias.. during the night they had built quite a larger nest. Pretty funny watching them as they come and go, then wiggle to shape the nest interior. The focal point of the last frame didn't catch the robin flying away.. I was using the Fuji X-T2 which has 325 focal points but it really isn't a birding camera, as you can see the focal points were more interested in the flowers. I had to have my camera set up on a tripod, and using a corded remote for the shots. The lens was the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 prime with the FX mount.

They picked a very pretty spot for raising their family!

It's odd about Robins, they like Petuias. Also at my place also a few years ago.
I did photos right up until the chicks flew the coup, I was in NYC at that time. The nest was in my flower planter in my country house balcony in Woodstock NY.
I regret not getting those last leaving pics !

Thank you, it's nice that we can watch while they do, through our sliding glass patio door.
