Dressed to Fit the Scene

This robin was perching motionless on the shrub as we came walking along a path. I took a few shots and we moved on thinking that a nest was nearby and we didn't want to stop the robin from feeding its young. A few steps later, we realized why the robin was perching so motionless on the shrub. There was a rattlesnake to the right of our path and the robin had spotted it before we did.
