Camera Critters #58

Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.

This is one of the biggest perch I've caught from Lake Hodgson, 12" long. There are also a White Crappie and a Black Crappie in the photo.
This American Robin came by while I was cleaning the fish.
I was able to get a good photo of the bird with the orange breast plate.
Go and visit some other critters from around the world.

    Great shots. The last one of the bird is great.

    Your robins are so different to ours, but the fish I recognize. Nice catch camera and rod.

    Glad to see your getting you line wet again and having some good catches to boot! Seldom do I see a 12" perch I consider a 10"er and good sized around these parts.

    Those were some really nice crappies in your earlier post, I bet they were delish!

    Now, you need to change your story to have the red robin being the one who captured those fish above...

    Hi Tom,

    Congrats, Tom... That is a big one!!!!! Have you eaten him yet????? YUM!!!!

    We can see (from our home) a Robin's nest on top of our neighbor's gutter. George told me to get my binoculars and look them closer. I told him that I couldn't do that for fear the neighbors (whom we don't see often) would think that I'm spying on them... ha

    Have a great Sunday.
    Betsy

    I used to catch perch off the dock in Canada when I was about 7 or 8 for my Dad to use when trolling for pike!! Those that I caught were about 4 or 5 inches long..great memories!!
    Looks like you are about to plant that garden..ahhh spring has come!
    Nice post!

    I adore the Robin photo... I have seen a few flying around here from tree to tree but they are jumpy birds and quite hard to photograph.
    You did a wonderful job at this one!!!

    Hugs♥

    I can almost smell them sizzling in the fry pan. :-)

    Pretty red robin ... perhaps he was hoping to be invited in for dinner !!

    Wonderful catch!! Is the robin a fish eater? Because he was interested in your fish! Have a great week!
