Preening Robin on the Rusty Clothesline Pole


I found this robin preening (?) its feathers yesterday on the T-shaped clothesline pole in my back yard. The robins don't usually perch at eye level with my regular photography vantage point; instead, they run around in the yard at ground level some 3-10 feet below. This means that I usually can't get the angle that I would like to shoot. As I saw this robin on my clothesline, I quick grabbed my camera, and as I started shooting, the bird began to preen, making for a visually interesting image with the angle of the bird's head.
