Mom at rest

This afternoon, I went down to a local park to look for a Robin's nest that I had been told about. It was easy to find, close to the side of the path and just below eye level. Not low enough to be able to see the eggs, though I had been told that there were eggs in the nest. When I arrived, Dad was sitting on the edge of the nest. I waited a while and Mom returned to the nest, rearranged a few pieces of grass and then made herself comfortable for incubating. Thank goodness for zoom, so as not to stress the birds! While I was watching this pair of Robins, a Northern Flickr was noisily banging in the next tree and Red-winged Blackbirds were vocalizing a few feet away in a small swamp area.
