American Robin
American Robin (Turdus migratorius) fishing for minnows. They have adapted to using minnows as a winter food source where open water is available and the minnows concentrate. There were over 65 American Robins observed in the area of the seep and they continue to remain in this area as of today.
There were two types of small fish in this pond, one is a species of Stickleback noted in the image and the other is a species of Dace. There is a small seep or spring keeping the water open on a small pond in an urban park in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The light conditions were poor so fill flash was used to bring out some more detail in the bird.
