Spring is trying to make its presence known so I have felt an urgency to photograph as many birds as I can in the snow we have gotten this month before winter leaves us here in the Salt Lake Valley. On February 16th I woke to fresh snow on the ground and I knew I wanted to see if the American Robins were still feeding in the crabapple trees close to home. I was in luck and spent just a little over 15 minutes with the robins before a kestrel flew in and they all took off.<\/p>\n

Some of the American Robins were perched in the crabapple trees, some were flying overhead and a few were foraging on the ground. This American Robin stopped foraging briefly and gave me a great view of it with snow on top of its bill.<\/p>\n

Later this robin seemed to be giving me the “eye” as it stood on top of a small snow bank next to the trunk of a crabapple tree.<\/p>\n

I love photographing birds in the snow because the images have a beautiful simplicity. This American Robin and its shadow in the snow is about as simple as it gets.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
