Spring was officially here, when I grabbed the camera and set out for a walk around the pond. The muskrats were not out. Some geese had a quick spat on the pond. It didn't seem like there was much out that was photo worthy. Then suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a pair of Red Breasted Robins fighting or were they mating. In all appearances it seemed rather violent. I swung my camera up to my eye. In this instance, when the action is so fast and sudden all you can do is spray and pray! A few photos turned out but many were just slightly out of focus. Is this aerial snuggling or a bitter attack? I originally spotted them in the air but eventually the fight or heat of passion moved to the gravel mound left by the plow guy. My buffer filled. I had to wait a few seconds before being able to shoot. Their aerial antics were sure swift. Ahh, nature is this what we call love on the rocks? Yes, I believe so it is spring now so why not! While it was not much of an adventure for me and very brief, I am sure it was quite the adventure for these twitter-pated robins. Hope you enjoyed this little walk on the wild side!
