While out for a short hike along a ditch bank last week, saw this little guy hopping on the ground up ahead of me. Shot one pic from 1200mms with the Canon SX50, then got a little closer, about 450mm, before he/she flew off. These are cropped and not super sharp, but I'm confident plenty of people on this site can give me an id. thanks,patrick
Unless my memory is worse than I think, it certainly is a robin. Grew up with them all over the place in Western Kentucky. Can't recall seeing one here in So Cal, though on the map it is part of their year round territory.
