Not really a garden picture
But I have to share anyway. I think this is the first day out of the nest for this baby robin. He was very patient and stayed put while I took his picture.

5. Just lucky I think
I thought he would hop away before I got back with the camera. He/she could only fly a few feet that first day, and mommy and daddy robin were close by keeping an eye on him/her. It was a joy to watch.

9. Will do
Although I don't consider myself a photographer. I keep the camera handy for just such an occasion. I have a nice oriole picture I can post also.

10. Northern Oriole
I like this picture too. The orioles don't stop by very often.
