Now it is the Dude’s turn to be in the spotlight. He is inside the screen room. He is standing on top of the mint container. See him over to the right? And he sees a baby robin that just fledged from the nest. The bird and the Dude had a stare down for about 30 minutes. The Dude has no front claws, so he cannot get to the bird.
This is as close as the Dude can get to a bird. He would look through the screen, and talk to the bird, getting his attention. But he couldn’t do anything but have a stare down. The robin is just out of the nest, with the Momma robin nearby on the deck, watching the show.
Amazing how tolerant the robins are of me and my camera. And now the Dude is passed out. That is hard work.
So cool to see this baby robin on my deck, right out of the nest. There is one more left to fledge.

Such a cute capture!
Thanks, it was a cool moment. 🙂
They both look so serious, it seems that they are solving a maths’ quiz
They were serious. The baby bird had just flown out of the nest for the first time and sees my cat, who has never been this close to a bird!
Maybe they both need to play. But who will be the shampoo? Of course Rich. He has more life experience.
No playing, the bird would not win that one! He was right out of the nest.
Haha … The dude is probably thinking, “if only the window is gone…”
and the baby robin, “too bad it isn’t…”
Btw, an interesting capture full of tension
I know, it was so cool to watch, so cool. 🙂
Awe now, talking about making someone smile. This is precious. lol Love the set of his ears. 🙂 Great shot of my boy!
And his little whiskers, every now and then you can see a white whisker. It was so fun to watch Kim. This little robin went form the nest to my deck and sat there for over an hour. The Dude could hear him but couldn’t see him until he stood up on the mint container. So funny. I stood at the patio door and saw the whole show.
He looked for the little bird this morning. 🙂
The dude, being a movie character, is channeling his inner Mike Myers and is thinking “get in my belly.” (from the Austin Powers movie).
Yes indeed he was so funny, and was talking the entire time to the robin.
Fortunate for the Robin to be parted by the window……
Yes, and Dude has no claws, that is why he is inside. All he can do is look… and talk.
Robin meets the Dude. Nice story.
Someone told me I should write a book about it!
That would be a good idea.
Again a fantastic lucky picture shoot. Ah the Dude seems intrigued but also flabbergasted that he cannot catch this little robin. Unlike Runt, my indoor and outdoor cat, the Dude stays indoor. Good for him and BTW the Dude you should thank your mommy for keeping you indoors instead of looking so forlornly at this innocent birdie and wonder why can I not go out and play with this playmate….
I was in awe the entire time as I watched behind the camera lens. Should have done a video so you could hear him talking his little bird talk. He has no claws, so he has to be indoors. But as you see, he gets plenty of action. 🙂
Very interesting photo, that tells a story of its own. Awesome photo
Thanks, it was a cute moment to witness.
This is a real “close encounter”. I think they both are a little surprised
You are so right. The little robin froze when he saw the Dude, did not move just stared.
so close, and yet so far away
Perfect title for a book I should write.
lemme know if you need cover art
Oh wow that would be so cool….
so cool and reasonably priced. that title is gonna take up a lotta headroom though…
As far as I know, every bird is very interesting for the cat … what he thinks is only he knows
Yes, this was the first time for the Dude to see one this close.
Aww, that’s lovely Carol. Dude looks very intrigued by the little bird. It’s very cute. =)
Thanks, it was so cool to watch this happen. I don’t think he has ever been this close to one before. And the baby bird had no clue wha the Due even was!
Cat thinking and planning for party, while bird thinking of such creation
Yes he would love to get out and see that bird closer. 🙂
