For David S, who wanted to see more local pictures, rather than the Africa ones!

Hey Sandy,
This is just lovely,
The environment you captured this Robin in has a great Holiday feel to it that is perfect for the season. The berry in the beak is a real bonus.
Nicely done . . . laugh

Nice detail and pose in the Robin, Sandy. I like the framing by the branches and a berry in the beak is always a winner.

Thanks for posting the Robin, Sandy. I agree that this is a festive photograph. Nicely perched. Good color. Nice detail.
While it's true the weather in the Pacific Northwest is not always the best for avian photography this time of year, it seems that Dennis, myself, and others who live up here seem to come up with stuff. Besides Juncos and Finches, I am seeing Chickadees, Towhees, Bush Tits, Stellar Jays, not to mention the Herons, shorebirds, raptors, and gulls. I hear Nikon now makes an umbrella for the D 800 so you can go out and catch some local wildlife...
