american robin

Taken at home.

One too many worms again. Note to self, I must get in more exercise.

Sorry for the double post of this photo but I hadn't realized that the comp this month was Birds and Water when I posted the first time and don't know any way to change the caetgory...

One of my few pics of birds from Washington DC trip. This robin was very enthused about taking a bath in a pudle near one of the monuments.

Robin perching in my backyard.

Taken in the yard, in spring large groups of Robins(10-50) come into the yard to finish off whatever berries are left from the winter. When they find the berries you have acouple of hours to take pics before they eat every berry in the tree.

Noticed this unusual subject in the park digging for food. Confirmed on the Q & A forum that it is indeed an Robin with a leucistic condition; hundreds of other (black w/ orange) Robins were throughout the park feeding and fighting today.

Taken last Spring.

I don't blame him. It is cold and rainy and every one needs food.

As you can see, the background is indicative of why I hate El Nio and the rain it brings. Don't believe I've seen a full day of sun in weeks.

A Robin photo from a month ago. The reflection in his eye is my house! The warm colors in the background are the hostas in the garden dying back for the season. There seem to be a few more birds in the feeders but it's still only a few sporadically. I'm thinking it will take some consistent...

Finally got a "relatively" dry day with intermittent Sunshine. Went out, not much to photograph, but nice open air.

One from the archives. Just ran across it when going thru some other stuff.

Taken in the Spring in the backyard.

I've had upwards of twenty or so Robins at a time feeding in my Mountain Ash tree this Sept. Mostsly juveniles, with a few adult birds scattered in. They are at all different stages of moulting into their adult feathers. Some are still completely spotted and some like this bird are about...
