Feeding frenzy

Chosen Pick of the Month!

One judge said: "It portends the change of seasons; seems like the robins got here too early and now they're scrabbling for eats. He caught a decisive moment with the main character holding the ash berry in his beak while the other two lend motion to the picture."

The photographer wrote: "A flock of approximately 30 robins descended on the mountain ash tree next to my house to feed on the remaining berries. I took this picture through the window to avoid scaring them away." Taken Feb. 19.
