Robin feeding frenzy

The Robins are here by the thousands and feeding on anything with berries. Here are a couple shots from several days ago.
Thanks for looking.

Those are BOTH spectacular!
It's been a long time since I've seen a lot of them at one time, once I saw about 50 at Lake Fork together, then I saw a few at a time another day, but it's not that common around my house.
I REALLY like both of these shots, I'd be hard pressed to choose the better one.

What'd you use, the 100mm or the 100-400mm?
I assume the 7D too?

Randy

Couple of good shots, #1 has the edge I think.

Stunning shots! Beautiful work here.

Cracking shots, Brad.

Great shots!

Brad nice images. I particularly like the robin in amongst the juniper berries.

Thanks Randy, I used the 7D, 100-400 combo. I have never seen so many Robins like I have this year. They are all in the wooded areas near our house.

Thanks a lot Stephen, It's much appreciated.

Gorgeous shots! You make the 7D look really nice. How are you liking it?

Many thanks... I like the 7D a lot. It took some getting used to coming from a XSi but it performs very well when conditions aren't ideal.

Wow those are sharp!...very nice captures! I was down in Florida and viewed these frenzies of birds. Hundreds of Robins in a group just eating everything on the tree...quite a sight...thanks for sharing these nice shots....don't get to see to many up here during the winter.

Wow, these are CRISP shots with outstanding Bokeh.

Always love the robin shots, you did a masterful job on the rusty bird... nice shooting Brad.
I still have these guys in the berry trees with the waxwings... tough birds in below zero weather or slow learners not heading south...

Thanks Matt, It is indeed a sight to see so many of them in one spot.

Always appreciated Dave... I haven't seen any on our pear trees yet but they are all around.

Super shots of those Robins, sharp and crystal clear...sweet
