Caught Robin in a tree

I was exercising in our apartment house's gym and on the elliptical thought I spotted a bird sitting motionless on a tree. I kept thinking it had to be something else, because, although i was a bit of distance away, i really spotted no motion. After 40 minutes of watching, I decided to get off and make a run for my camera.

I had my camera set on burst shooting and present exposure and took only one shot before it appeared the bird might fly off. I hit the shutter and, sure enough off it went. I was lucky to grab these images. It was snowing pretty heavily, the smudges are falling snowflakes.

Shot with Nikon Z50 and kit 50-250 mm lens.

I don't blame it for not sticking around...
