\"AnAn American Robin near Modoc Creek, Idaho – Nikon D810, f7.1, 1\/1600, ISO 400, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In early May I found this American Robin perched near Modoc Creek, Idaho and I liked the simplicity of of the background and the robin’s pose. American Robins are a common, almost ignored species that I enjoy photographing in wild locations well away from the hum of the city.<\/p>\n

Life is good. Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n
