This is a common bird here all year except winter when they become somewhat scarce so I was surprised to see this one hopping on the frozen ground behind me as I was photographing a Common Merganser trying to haul out of the water onto ice. Bronte Harbour, Oakville, Ontario
As I was taking photos or deer I noticed something out of place. It was this Robin standing like a statue. I kept taking photos getting closer and closer this juvenile Robin didn’t move a millimeter. I could’ve grabbed this little bird if I wanted too, but I didn’t want to bother more than I should. Plus it’s parent was a few feet away watching me.
Robins nest in our yard, sometimes in inconvenient locations, are frequent visitors to the birdbath, and enjoy the berries in our dogwood bushes. They are the State bird of Michigan.
North American Robin (Turdus migratorius) feeding on Mountain Ash berries in an urban park in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Every year, a few very hardy individuals will spend the winter in the area feeding on berries and other food resources to maintain energy levels sufficient to keep them alive through the cold months.

There were a number of American Robins eating the tea crabapples on this tree in Brookside Gardens, Montgomery County, Maryland. This robin didn't mind being photographed while the others hid behind branches.

Eight years ago, I posted similar photos of this species on the same tree. It's nice to have a little snow to bring in the new year.
An American Robin has foraged in my backyard for nutritious protein for the little ones, and now is standing on the fence ready to depart. Just one of countless trips.
Robins aren't difficult to photograph, but here I was shooting between the overhanging branches of a Manitoba Maple that grows on my neighbour Adam's side of the fence. Adam has offered to cut the branches, but I like them, and so do the birds. However, in this case an out of focus branch was bisecting the lower part of this robin; you can see traces of it at the lower left. Clearly some processing was needed.
Removing the branch digitally wasn't an option, so I did a fairly tight crop on the head, then upscaled the image using ON1 Resize. After that I ran it through Topaz DeNoise for some moderate noise removal. Finally I used Photoshop's Dodge Tool to lighten the eye a touch, and saved the 300 ppi version as an uncompressed TIFF file. Then I changed the colour space from Adobe RGB (1998) - which is best for printing, and the one preferred by most publishers - to sRGB, the universal colour space for sharing online, and finally reduced the resolution to 72 ppi, which is all that the average monitor can read, and sharpened that version using the Photoshop Unsharp Mask. For this I used Luminosity Sharpening, which is yet another step in the workflow, but I like the result as it reduces the halo effect around contrasty subject lines that is a clear sign of over-sharpening.
I can imagine the yawns of boredom now, folks begging me to shut up or just shoot them. Sorry. I generally fly through these steps in a few minutes. Taking care with the processing allows me to provide a high quality, publishable image to a client on demand. It's a huge step up from the days of slides in plastic boxes.

There was an early snowfall at higher elevations of the Mt Hood NF in Hood River Co, OR, Oct 9, 2019.This American Robin was trying to eat some of the frozen elderberries and seemed somewhat peeved.

“The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness….. American Robins are fairly large songbirds with a large, round body, long legs, and fairly long tail. Robins are the largest North American thrushes, and their profile offers a good chance to learn the basic shape of most thrushes. Robins make a good reference point for comparing the size and shape of other birds, too….. American Robins are industrious and authoritarian birds that bound across lawns or stand erect, beak tilted upward, to survey their environs. When alighting they habitually flick their tails downward several times. In fall and winter they form large flocks and gather in trees to roost or eat berries.”
