Commoners

I just returned from judging a wonderful little quilt show in Green River, Wyoming. I love traveling to that city as they have a great river walk where I always manage to see birds I wouldn't see at home.

Even though all these shots were collected along the Green River, the robin is obviously not an uncommon bird anywhere in North America.

People do not get excited about seeing photographs of robins, which is too bad because I love taking them! Not only are they beautiful birds, they are amazingly human-tolerant, which means I can get closer to them than I can to many species.
