This is an American Robin shot from last summer. They are pretty birds but annoying. They are constantly harrasing the Bluebirds.

I like this but the pine needle in the middle of his chest is a bit distracting. Otherwise nice comp, exp and BG.

Yes, It was distracting to me too Doug but I thought I would post anyway and see what happened. Here is a repost with it cloned out. It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be to get rid of.

An interesting pose Clayton. I do wish for more room for the clipped tail.

I like the almost aristocratic pose this robin decided to strike Clayton. I do like the repost without the pine needle through the breast. Comp wise I wish there were more room to allow for the tail

Thank you all for your comments. I wish there had been a better view of the tail also. However, what was there was a clutter of limbs that would have detracted from the image so I opted for a crop to eliminate it.
