There were so many robins in the yard today. I think they think it's spring. It seems too early for them. It's weird to put an image of a robin with its red breast in black and white - not the best subject for that I think.
I agree it's a little too early in your area. we won't see the robins for quite awhile yet. had snow overnight and more in the forecast. The robin looks pretty with or without the red though.
I like doing the b&w challenge, but I agree that sometimes it seems odd to put something colorful in b&w. With that said, I love that the textures and details show up nicely in this photo.
