For weeks I have been trying to photograph robins along Piney Woods Church Road, since they seem to be abundant there this time of year. I picture the American robin as the ultimate suburban bird, equivalent to the urban street pigeon. So while they seem to be everywhere, it has also been difficult to photograph them in a way that does not leave them looking nondescript and, well, uninteresting. Finally, this image of a robin on a wooden fence works for me. Perhaps it is because this particular robin seems to be taking an interest in the photographer, in turn.
