Red Robin by grammyn

Red Robin

My yard was COVERED in Robins and a few other kinds of birds today. I would need 20 albums to post all the interesting shots I took. They were in the lawn looking for food and gathered around a planter base that was filled with water. I put a few more water supplies out for them including this pail and then waited in the house by the window.

Great shot! I love the DOF and the different textures! Fun!

@deburahiru I appreciate it so much. i had taken another one but there was a twig showing that marred the composition so I had to wait for another bird! I am so glad you like it,Deb!

So cool! I love all the textures and soft colors. :)

Beautiful. You have done a great job of combining color and textures in this shot. Really nice. And I'm incredibly jealous -- it will be awhile before we see a robin.

@marilyn Thanks. It was hard to decide which one I wanted to post because there were so many good choices.

@debbim I'm sorry you won't have robins for a while. I thought they might be on their way north because they were in my yard for a couple of hours and there were so many of them. We usually have very few. They were probably on their way to you! I'm glad you liked the shot, Debbi. Thanks for you kind words.

Amazing Katy....wonderful capture! Just love him perched there on the bucket lip.

Wow, what awesome detail of this beautiful bird and surrounding area that you captured so wonderfully. I have never seen a robin this close up. Very pretty bird.

Very nice shot

Beautiful capture of the little "Spring" bird! And our yard just got covered by snow today! Cold and blistery here. What a wonderful opportunity for you to get photos with these guys.

I think that this same flock flew through here two days ago. The migration is definately happening. They mentioned this nice lady in Alabama who put water out for them and how she is now on their bucket list.

@otdafot LOL! You are so quick witted and funny Art. We had a bunch again today. It is really cool to see. Almost like the Hitchcock film.
