About the Image(s)
We always talk about the first robin of Spring; however, this year several chose to over-winter here. I was quite surprised to have so many gather at our birdbath when the outside temperature was barely over 20 degrees.

Robert, what a great shot. Especially the apparent interaction between the bird in the air and the bird seemingly squawking at it from the bird bath. Your crop is good and made the focus of the photo the birds and the bath. Well done. Posted: 03/05/2025 21:43:11

Hi Robert,
I second with Andres that it's a great shot of the interaction of the bird in the air and the one with open beak at the birdbath. Your post processing is also well done. Very nice image! Posted: 03/06/2025 17:54:05

Robert, great image. I like the focus being on the birds in the bath and like others, the interaction between the one in the bath and the one flying in. Your crop and object removal work well. Very nice image and reminds us that spring will arrive! Posted: 03/15/2025 15:02:57
Robert, as others have mentioned, the interaction between the two birds is priceless. You've done a pleasing job of editing with elimination of the post and drawing attention to the birds. The position of the incoming bird works well for strong composition. Nicely done! Posted: 03/17/2025 15:34:14
Robert - a really fun image with a perfect title! Good timing on the capture. Well-exposed, composed and edited. Wouldn't change a thing! Posted: 03/17/2025 21:49:27
Nice job of cleaning up the wore fencing around the birds. The r robins seem to come in big flocks in the spring to eat berries on many bushes. I like the you caught the birds in different positions and that one is flying in or out. Posted: 03/19/2025 21:18:22
