    Not too well up on juvenile American birds, but it's certainly not a robin - they're quite spotty and have distinct hint of the adult plumage. This bird looks more like a Northern Mockingbird to me.

    Need Help For Thrush? Pic!!!

    Personally I'd put my money on a Hermit Thrush. The black bill tip isn't a problem. Varied Thrush is a bit nearer in shape to American Robin - at least it's less dinky and rotund than your bird looks.

    What's been in your garden today?

    What's been in your garden today?

    Four Blackcaps today. First thing this morning there were three males side by side on the fallen sunflower hearts. Amazing. For a moment I thought my binoculars needed colimating. Then later on the regular female appeared. That's five different Blackcaps that have visited this month since for...

    Historical Impossibility?

    They are "halflings". And, of course, Middle Earth knew all sorts of species that are beyond the ken of modern man... ;)

    Zipped flies in cowboy films are always worth a chuckle.

    Chickadee I.D

    The bird is so scruffy overall that I wouldn't like to make a call based on the bib. How would it look if the bird were neat and pristine, I wonder? That said photo #1 does show that the greater coverts have pale outer webs that contrast with the darker inner webs and with the rest of the wing...
