The neighbor's persimmon trees have drawn many flocks of fruit-eaters to the
area.  The American Robin is probably the most numerous of these birds:

What do you think of the framing?  I wanted to include the bird's legs and
feet but the swaying branch made precise composition difficult with the
800mm (effective) focal length.

Technical stuff: Leica R4, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, 1.4x APO-Extender-R, ISO 400
film.
