As Sheldon and I were tramping around Ile Bizard yesterday, I thought I saw a robin along the river. Nope, not one, but about 20 of them. Is spring just around the corner?

The corners in Montreal are quite large....


Nice shot - it's good to see those guys, but I do believe that they often hang around rather than migrate.

Then again, they could be Arctic Robins - did you see any with muk-luks?


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Nice shot Ian. I didn't get this either. I think I was too worried being run over by the $%^&& snowmobilers.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

fer,
I used my Canon 400 f/5.6 prime on a MKII body. Dollar for dollar, this is a lens that is hard to beat.

Nice Shot! At least you can dream about spring coming soon.

It's the dog days of winter for me.

Nope! These robins are just plain daft, just like the geese and the ducks that still hang around Montreal in the middle of Winter. :rolleyes:

:mrgreen: :lol:

that is a lovely shot

the robins are so different over here and in the uk

they have red breasts alright but they are more chubby looking

this one is so elegant it could be on a charlesu post
