"So long, and thanks for all the berries!"
American Robin (Turdus migratorius) eating red berries.
This and several other robins were munching on these red berries at Lake Artemesia in College Park, Maryland. More interested in food they largely ignored my presence. I thought it interesting to see how these birds position their legs and extend themselves to pluck these ripe berries. It certainly provides a different perspective on the bird!
Change "berries" to "fish" in the title and you have a phrase from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which is the departing phrase from the dolphins who say, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
