Yesterday morning's breakfast photo was hard-earned. Newborns required Mama Robin to regurgitate food into tiny beaks that were barely visible atop the nest. For fifteen minutes or so, I stood with Nik on my tripod, its mega-zoom fixed on my subjects. During that time, I watched the parents foraging in the dewy lawn.
This morning, all was too quiet. We wonder just what stalked our birds, leaving an empty nest in its wake. :-(
