Day 98, The hedgerow

Day 98, robin with serviceberry
Today I spent most of my time in the Lake McDonald Lodge Auditorium listening to scientists and researchers speak about projects they're working on in Waterton or Glacier. But during lunch I noticed a hedgerow between the cabins and the lake was teeming with birds. The warblers were feeding on bugs and the robins and waxwings on serviceberries. I photographed them well into the evening, long after the mics were put away and the researchers went home. It's an interesting place to take photos with a big lens. People stop and chat and one lady even asked me to fix her camera. I obliged. Here, a fledgling robin eats serviceberries.
