American Robins eating crab apples in an ice storm.
During the holiday break, the New York Capital Region received its first ice/snow event of the Winter. While I was walking past our front window, I noticed a flock of American Robins had descended on our ornamental crab tree and were gorging themselves on the fruit. I grabbed my camera and slowly made my way out the front door and maneuvered into position about fifteen feet away.
As a light sleet fell in fading light, I was able to capture a number of images with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens as the birds fed on the fruit. The above image was one of my favorites, more so because I did not realize I had captured it :)
Thanks for stopping by today!
