That celery blog has a plethora of beauty in it...a stunning capture of this lovely little robin, Rona! Love the blues of the bg, too. #9326361

Thanks so much everyone for these great comments! I, too, would love to own a 600mm lens (although I probably could not lift it and with my back, not sure it's a wise decision)! However, this was taken using a teleconverter - Nikon's TC-20E-III is first rate and makes a fine companion with the already sharp 300mm prime. #9326392

These guys don't hold still for long- so I appreciate the capture! Spring is definitely here, or so says the robin's arrival! #9326869
