Hi All! Being in Boston, MA last weekend, I observed this guest enjoying a shower under the sprinklers. I took a few shots through the mosquito net, but when I tried to open the screen door the visitor rushed away.
Having looked at Mark Cassino's pages, I think this bird is called "American Robin". My pictures are nowhere close to Mark's, but I was surprised (even though I know the physical explanation why) - that I was able to get this quality of images. (You can even see small water droplets, especially on the first photo.) For curious about technical details, the images were taken with ISO 800 and Tamron 75-300 /4-5.6 at 300 mm. The exposure information is posted under each image. http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/bird/ Igor
