I watched this robin foraging on the ground for a few minutes then got this image when it caught dinner and perched on a branch above its foraging ground.

Large flocks appear at home in Fall, feeding on berries. This was one in Oct.

This is a rare partial albino morph robin that appeared for a few consecutive years in my sister's yard and neighborhood. She has since disappeared, so we fear she is no longer living. Close up, you can see she has mottling even on her feet.

Taken in my yard.

Not sure what this Robin was doing in direct hot sun. Didn't spread its wings as in anting. Just sat there.

In berry heaven. Almonte, Ontario.

While sitting on my deck waiting for hummer to show at feeders this robin landed on deck railing and sat there as if I wasn't there at all.

13 days straight of over 100 degrees. The poor, poor birds.

This bird repeatedly, over several days, was seen foraging for and catching insects along the rocky shore of Lake Ontario, often standing in water up to a cm or more deep as waves washed in. The temperature was 33C+ at the time, but I don't think that it was just cooling off, though it did drink.

I guess the extreme heat has brought them in for all the bird baths and my putting my sprinkler on for the birds.

On its favorite perch - the Muscadine Vine

Great birds to watch, especially when they are extracting worms from the ground.

We don't see robins very much on our property for some reason, maybe to woodsy.
