Where are the Worms?

Just a Robin

Cuppa noticed this robin sitting in our tree yesterday morning. We were downstairs and our cameras were upstairs, but the bird continued to sit patiently while I took the time to change to my telephoto lens. I took pictures from both upstairs and downstairs, and still she remained. She was probably too stunned to move and consumed with wondering where the heck the worms and and berries could possibly be.

The top version is with normal, minimal post processing. In the bottom version, I really boosted the contrast and saturation.

We still have a snowbanks a couple feet high on our boulevard, but I was surprised on Saturday to see a robin pull a worm up from the bare edge close to the sidewalk.I thought the ground would still be too frozen for the worms to move.
I like pictures well saturated with colour as a rule.

We usually have Robin come thru and hang around for just a few days! It's usually early in the year here ...however, I didn't see them at all this time! :(

Simply lovely! These pictures are really beautiful! We haven't seen too many around here - urban blight that it is - so I count on yours and Mary's to remind me. :)

In this part of the world Robins equate hope. I too saw my first one this week. What a beautiful photo of this pretty girl.
