Beautiful shots, Øivind.

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a common bird but they can sometimes be pretty evasive. I was trying to locate them singing in the trees the days before without any luck. Then this one appeared to make a show, first chasing a rival (too fast for me to get the shot), and then taking a good bath before drying off in a nearby tree.

Today at some point when I heard a bird singing through the open door of my cabin I went outside to check with 500PF+TC-14E III mounted on my D500 as standard lately. 6 minutes later I had shot >120 frames, and covered three different species, shown in this and the following two posts.    The first species that caught my attention was a Common Redpoll (Acanthis flammea) that was foraging on seeds from fallen cones, but it was really to far away so this became a 100% crop.
