Stranded Baby Robin

After receiving a series of really uncalled for comments (I won't go into details), I decided to give up on Aminus3. However, here's a photo I couldn't resist posting. This baby Robin been stranded in my driveway for the past couple of days. It's mother is doing her best to feed and protect it, but, unless it learns to fly pretty soon, I'm guessing there's not much hope. The reason I could get such a close up is that sometimes it thinks I'm its mother. Most of the time, though, I'm staying far away and letting nature take its course.
