Winter Robin

Central Iowa Countryside

I AM SURPRISED TO FIND A FLOCK (20?) THAT ARE
HANGING OUT IN RURAL IOWA ALL WINTER.. I ALWAYS
THOUGHT THEY WENT SOUTH.. AND CAME BACK TO GET
THE WORMS THAT COME OUT OF THE WET SPRING SOIL..

THIS GROUP OF ROBINS STAYS IN A WOODSY AREA THAT
HAS A NUMBER OF BERRY TREES WHERE THEY EAT THE
FRUIT. THEY SEEM TO BE VERY ACTIVE AND WELL FED..

THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE ALL FLUFFED OUT IN THE COLD
AND SITTING ON HIS FEET TO KEEP THEM WARM??

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/500s f/8.0 at 650.0mm iso800 (1.7TC) full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
