Well, I "purchased" a refurbished lens from Amazon to expand beyond my squirrel stuff.
Canon 18 -135 f/3.5- 5.6, Image Stabilization, USM. I realize it's not the best; however, this is within the budget at this stage. I have 30 days to try it, as it's a free return.
So I took it out for a spin to the nearby place where I did the signs. It's a nice place with beautiful trees, which I like photographing. While it was great to have a lens I could use to get these shots, I missed my other lens when I saw a bird and, yes, a squirrel! I confess when I played enough, I did switch back to my other, and yes, I got several pleasing squirrel shots.
I included the Robin, which was taken with the new lens because I liked that he had something in his mouth. Nice surprise when I discovered it when I edited it.
So here's what I did. I don't have much experience with this type of photography, so I gave it a try! Please feel free to comment.

I suspect the original Robin was quite nice; however, I thing something happened in postprocessing to smear the color/texture, i.e.: no detail in its breast.
