The picture of this American Robin was taken at the New York Botanical Gardens. The picture of this American Robin was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

It is such a treat to be able to get a capture under “perfect” circumstances where the bird is close and still in good light. Then the picture takes itself. This does not happen that much for me. Of course it happens more often with birds that are more plentiful.
