Well then . With the COVID-19 pandemic effectively trapping me inside my house, I've basically done no street photography for the past two weeks. Classes have moved online, my routine is messed up, and I think my mental health is declining. That being said, I did get the opportunity to do quite a bit of bird photography, mostly photographing birds near my house. The American robins have returned for the spring, and boy, am I glad to be able to see them! Flickr ,  DeviantArt .

One fine June morning I rolled out of bed early to do some bird photography. Me and my dad had recently bought a long lens together—a 55-300mm beauty—so I was able to do wildlife photography with greater ease. This young American robin hopped by while I was on the footpath and came very close to me. It didn't seem afraid of me at all, and graciously allowed me to photograph it. I did get a number of photos before someone else came down the footpath and it flew away.
