It's springtime and birds are coming back to Wisconsin!
Two years ago while working I discovered a birds nest with four baby robins in it!
From May 9th to May 19th of 2014 I photographed them and their mother every day. I missed seeing them hatching by just a few days I believe.
Momma robin was not pleased with me and let me know it! I tried not to disturb them at all but the mother would come back, see me and go crazy! The slightest noise and the little guys would open their mouths looking for food.
I shot 409 images and trimmed it down to these 33 pictures.
It is very interesting to see the rapid development of these guys in just ten days! After the ten days, the nest was empty and they were gone. Never saw them again.
I wonder if they are still alive and flying. It's a tough world we live in.
Enjoy a look at these ten days.
Thanks,

Hope everyone had a nice Easter with family and friends.
This week's blog was going to be on some baby robins that I photographed. I have 409 images of them growing up from the egg to flying away! With 409 images I need a little more time to sort through them, so that will be next week's blog. Today we have Robin Trower from 1974!
It's a different kind of robin! This one rocks and is still rocking today. I have photographed him a lot, and had the pleasure to meet him and he is one nice guitar player!
These photos show James Dewar on bass guitar. He was also Robin Trower's vocalist until his passing years ago.
Enjoy a look at Robin in 1974, and word is- he is getting ready for a new tour of America! Be sure to catch him this summer if you can.
Have a great week.
Thanks,

I was lucky enough to get to know the band members of Heartsfield in the 1970's. They all became very good friends to this day!
They are an awesome band that recorded a few albums that should have gotten a lot more air play on the radio.
The guys were from and also based out of Chicago. Although for a while they were in California trying to work.
These photos I just came across the other day looking for some other photos and it's great to look at them again.
A lot of my color photos of the guys were given to their manager (don't EVER do that), in hopes of being used for an album jacket or cover being worked on. I never saw them again! I have learned to give duplicates and not originals to anyone!
Enjoy a look at the guys at Humpin Hanna's in Milwaukee on a June night in 1974.
Have a great Easter everyone.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
