A really poor, overcast, rainy day. Seems the smart birds were hiding out of the rain and only the dumb photographer was out getting wet.
Female RWB sitting on a nest, hidden from all, except for ol' eagle eye me.:):)

Good eye, Ian, spotting the RWB in the reeds.

Good thing your gear is weather-sealed, huh? :)

Man you have good eyes. Even after telling us, it is hard to see.

Hey, good eyes :) I had to look awhile before I saw it. I've seen my share of RWBB but never one on a nest. Which reminds me, there is a robins nest in a cedar tree right next to my brothers porch (in Montreal). Last I checked there were no eggs yet but time to have another look.

It's raining in Ottawa too :( Sometimes the wet weather forces the birds to slow down and also perch lower so inclement days can make for good photo ops.

I just discovered the icons :lol:

The eye of a photographer has no bounds.
No escape for their victims.

Good spotting and good shot.
