American Robin, Hermitage Park, September 6, 2009.

Didn't shoot much at the park, especially after the rain. Saw an American Goldfinch, which was hiding the bush, and I didn't get a good shot.

I got off work early on Friday (my employer should do that more often) and ran into Glenn Parker and Gerald Romanchuk at the park. We chatted quite a bit, especially about various photography-related topics. This Kinglet popped up right above me while I was photographing the sparrows, and I only had about 2 secs worth of shots before it took off.

In the comment box below, I include a bunch of songbirds that I photographed from late-August all the way to September. I delayed working/posting them because I was having so much fun with the shorebirds than the songbirds. If you like any of the photos below, please come back in a week, I should have some of them "public". If you see any errors in the ID, please feel free to let me know! Thanks!

Again, many thanks for browsing through and commenting my works, I will try to comment everyone's work as much as possible whenever I'm free.

This Avocet waded past me as I was staying low along the shoreline of the lake. I have a series of shots of the wading action, but IMHO, this shot has everything I wanted in a bird image.
