I shot this photo last autumn out in the backyard. Cropped the photo from a larger shot. This fellow and his friends took about a week to strip this clump of trees clean of their berries. Soon thereafter they started their migration to warmer climates. In past years there have been grouse and other birds doing their share of eating these berries, but I never saw any this year. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Wendell - This robin has got a feast before her (I assume gender from the mottled coloring)! Nicely done! Thad

Hey Wendell
The berries on these trees are kinds the last resort for birds when they get hungry enough. We have this same tree and it was stripped by Robins last month! Nice imagery with the red berries and greens!

A really sweet capture of the Robin surrounded by all the green foliage and berries, Wendell! Although, I think a slight punch in colour would add some warmth... just my thinking. I really like your framing choice that puts emphasis on the berries, as well as the bird! Lovely work!
