Unexpected waterbird

I’ve never seen a robin in the lake at Constitution Gardens before, or in any body of water other than a bird bath, for that matter, but this one definitely was.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

So beautiful, a terrific sharp shot of a robin who looks a bit discombobulated. V
