Juvenile robin

JUVENILE ROBIN, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, JUNE 30, 2020

Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 with Pentax 1.4x extender (420mm)
1/250 sec. f8
ISO 1600

When I spotted this bird in a tree I thought it was some kind of thrush not often seen in these parts, but then realized it was a juvenile robin, perhaps four or five weeks old and not long from the nest. At that age they are very trusting and this one allowed me to get in close for its portrait.
