A Tweeting Bird!

We came home a few days after the snow storm (navigating through the snowdrifts...) to find a HUGE flock of robins right in front of the garage. I eventually figured out that the fifty or so birds were systematically stripping the nearby holly bushes of berries. Even though it was nearing dusk and an overcast day, I ran upstairs to grab my camera. I was a little challenged by the light and my gear (cheap glass...). In such situations, you have to shoot to the strengths of the gear rather than whining about not getting the shot you want. Lens not fast enough to catch sharp images of teeny tiny birds winging through the air? Wait for them to land and walk up to you to see what you're up to! Ok... enough ranting, any more and I'll start sounding like Mr. Rockwell. This little dude took a minute out of gorging himself to try and figure out what the freak in the bright orange jacket and camera was doing.
