American Robins Stop for Some Fast Food
Jan 11, 2017 09:52:56 #
Caught a flock(30-40) of American Robins swarming around some red berry bushes in my back yard area. They "refueled", completely stripping the berries, and were then on there way to complete their migration. It was early on a cloudy morning a couple of days ago so the quality of the shots are not what they might have been in better light...enjoy!

Nice series. I think 3 is excellent - composition, focus, DOF and the bird's pose. 5 is very well done also.

Beautiful shots hb3. They look great even though the light wasn't working for you. I would love to come across something like that. I'll keep looking.

Super shots! Those bushes look like the pyrocanthra (spelling!) we have in our yard. The purple finch appear to be drunk after eating the berries. Fun to watch. Wonder if robins are similarly affected.
