Excellent portrait of this very skittish bird! I see this bird only during the winter and have never gotten a decent shot of one. Super sharp with a beautiful b/g. :)

I just saw the second image. He looks just like a Robin in a different suit. :)

Yes it does look a bit like a Robin, Mitch !
Quite often the two species get mixed up because of the similarity in size and color. The Robin is about a half inch larger than the Thrush.

Well, they are related. A Robin is a thrush, which I never knew until getting into this hobby. :)

Wonderful images, Edward. I love the color of the Varied Thrush and you have captured it well in these images.

BTW, seeing that you are a neighbor to my north, I invite you to visit NWPhotographers. Link is in my signature.

Perfect shot! What lens/combo did you use for the first one?

Both shots are great allthough the portrait is fantastic, they sure beat the thrushes we get in the Uk.

Thanks, AJ. I will have a look at your site.

Thank you Erin, for the nice comment.

David, I used the Canon XT with the 500mm lens at 20 feet. Thanks for asking.

Thanks Mark .
