Young Robin

[Jeff Sorbie]

Sony A700 + Sony 18-250mm, 250mm, 1/200, f/6.3, ISO 500

Taken at the Maple Lawn Garden in Ottawa

All the other birds were flying around as I walked through the garden except for this young one. It just posed for me for awhile then took off to join the others. I love the ruffled feathers look....A Bad Feather Day :)

Poor little thing looks so lost :)
I think if you crop a bit from the top, the bird would be placed better in the frame.
It is well exposed and sharp, the background is not ideal though.

Thanks for sharing!

Ha ha too cute. I agree with Fabs' critique.

BTW I believe what you have here is a young Red-winged Blackbird.

Agree with above, might sharpen the head area a little. And Daniel is correct, juvie red-winged blackbird :)
