American Robin

I was showing my son how to take a picture of the Moon when a Robin landed in the tree next to us and started picking berries, I took this shot with the settings for the Moon - it worked out.

Nikon D7100, Sigma 150-600mm, F9, 1/80s, ISO 640, 300mm.

Hey Reid, this would have been a good shot if the berries and leaves were blurred and the bird were to be in focus, I am no where to being a professional, but that is my input.

Thanks for the feedback - I wasn't setup to capture this but I liked the result - It does show the effort the Robin has to output to pick a berry. The focus caught on the leaves which is always an issue trying to capture birds in trees. The berrys should be ripening in a month or so and I will definitely be trying to capture it again.
