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.

Winter is coming, the leaves have mostly fallen from the trees. Snowbirds from last winter.

This fledgling American Robin had just been fed, but obviously wanted seconds. One thing that intrigued me was how red the parent's bill is. I don't know if that is a trick of the light or a common variation.
I saw bunches of them today, both along the Trans Canada Highway and on the Burgeo Highway, but they are very skittish. I took this out through the side window of the pickup using the telephoto lens and cropped the shot a lot. The second I'd step out of the vehicle, they were gone!
With all the snow still around, they are probably gonna' wish they stayed down south a little longer. Still, the temps have been up for the past couple of days, 12C or more yesterday, and quite a bit of snow has disappeared.

In fact, it's a standstill...
Female American robin (Turdus migratorius) perched atop a resin (fake) turtle at the pond.
The American robin (Turdus migratorius) 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.
It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
According to the Partners in Flight database (2019), the American robin is the most abundant landbird in North America (with 370,000,000 individuals), ahead of red-winged blackbirds, introduced European starlings, mourning doves and house finches.
The adult robin's main predator is the domestic cat; other predators include hawks and snakes.
