I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
This was one of several American Robins enjoying the holly berries on the neighbor's tree. The sun was just right to track their activity.

American Robins are migratory birds, but Edmonton has had small populations of overwintering individuals in various parks for several years. There are many varieties of fruit bearing trees to sustain them.
The Robins at Hermitage Park have also found a good source of protein in the minnows that congregate in small spring fed openings in one of the ponds, The Magpies also take advantage of this situation.
Hermitage Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
The American robin is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family.
They are found year round in Colorado and are able to thrive in cold and snow.

This robin was one of a couple who were flying around together at our apple tree. At this point, it was nicely isolated against the background.
It was interesting watching this robin pick the berry with the tip of its beak, then flip it to get further back, then finally lift it on the tip of its tongue to finish swallowing. Reminds me of the herons manipulating the fish before final swallows!
Edmonton has a small population of over-wintering American Robins. They can be found in several city parks that have various berry trees. At one particular park, they have also learned to catch minnows in a small open area of a storm water pond. I hope to get images of that situation again later this winter.
We have several holly bushes (our place used to be a holly farm), and the robins love to come and snack on them. Had a nice afternoon with good light, and cooperative robins. This one is manipulating the berry toward the throat.

He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

Everybody’s a critic!
He looked with a disapproving eye at the positioning of the lens and instructed me to move it to the left to introduce more negative space. So, here it is, blue hour celebration with negative space and …. insert your choice of drink here ….
Disclaimer: The occurrence of Blue Hour varies greatly in Bodmer’s yard and is not based on any specific time of day nor position of the sun. It is mostly associated with the intensity of the blue of the sky, which lately is no longer a given during Alberta’s summer.

Le doux temps des derniers jours a fait en sorte que certains oiseaux qui ne sont pas hivernants dans ma région ont fait leur apparition , C'est le cas du Merle d'Amérique, lequel était en grand nombre pour cette période : 11 individus !

I was watching for shots in the yard, when I spotted this American Robin in our driveway, with a nice sized worm. it worked with it, repositioning it until it could swallow it, then slurped it down. This is the last of a worm that was as long as this birds body!
We have several young birds on our plot. Yet this juvenile Robin has captured my heart. Yesterday she dug in and pulled up a big worm! Now I don't know if this was her first but it was for me.
I've never seen a mamma and papa so protective of a young one. They are mighty heavy handed with the Bluejays.
I hope all of you are well - we are loving the goings on in our little part of the world.
