Common birds get their day
October 19th, 2009
The lighting was unusual on this one...it came out looking as if I'd taken the chickadee indoors for a portrait.

There were about five hundred robins today and one Hermit Thrush. I eventually gave up on the Hermit Thrush (he's called "hermit" for a reason) and focused my camera on one of the robins. I liked the way the fall leaves called out his brick-red breast, and vice versa.
This was taken in the maple swamp area of Mud Lake. I photographed a robin in the same place back in April. It's a favorite spot for them.
