american robin

A young bird that has been taking a bath. Nothing special about seeing a young robin, I just liked the picture.

I placed this rock behind my daughters property near the edge of the woods...She said "what have you put that there for?" I said "For birds to use as a perch". She said "Dont be silly, you wont get any birds on there"...I think the total count was six or seven...

This robin was busy gobbling down some wild cherries. I was able to get several shots with him holding them in his mouth, and even swallowing, but this one is almost like he noticed me focusing on him, and decided to give me a proper look.

Well Peeps, Its that time of the week again...I hope y'all have a great weekend with nice weather and plenty of birds. Tomorrow Hazel and I are off to visit BF's Donny Taylor and his lovely wife Jane. Who knows where Donny will take me? Or what mischief he will get me into? But I'm really...

I hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend.

Happy 4th July to all our American Birdforum members, I hope y'all have a "Good Un"...And this year I'm in the States to celebrate with you.

Quite a few of these guys around lately

Robin! It stood there nicely allowing me to get a great shot.

I think this Juvie Robin was exploring the area since I didn't see any adult supervision around

Well Peeps, After a couple of days of 100 degrees temperatures, we have some rain this morning. We are going to Maryland for a long weekend in a few hours timeWe will be staying at a cabin on a lake, and have the use of a boat too. It all sounds really nice, but we will have...

Following on from yesterdays theme...Heres three shots taken at my daughters place in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Robins are Michigan's state bird. We have millions of them here. Most Michiganders attribute the first Robin siting of the year as a sign of spring, but they (Robins) sometimes never migrate south during the winter. This is perhaps the plumpest one I have ever seen.

Appears to be a leukistic American robin, many splashes of white feathering. Really striking...

The berries are getting hard to find on the trees now but I did see a flock of about 100 searching for more this morning in time for the Great Backyard Bird Count.

.... Robins meant Spring was here. 8 hours of no power or heat in an ice storm is no fun.

Sorry I haven't been around much. We've had over 500 robins in our neighborhood for the past three days. By the third day most of the berries had been eaten off the trees so the robins started eating the berries that had fallen on the ground. I loved having so many birds here but they kept...

More and more robins and cedar waxwings are arriving to enjoy the berries on our native Toyon trees.

Robins are common sights year round but the larger flocks should soon arrive to eat the red berries on the toyon trees. This male and a female are the first arrivals.

An American icon and the harbinger of spring. I think it looks a lot like the fieldfare. When observed here it is rare but usually with the robin.

Well Peeps, As its July 4th today, I am posting 3 pics from our last trip over the pond...I would like to wish all our Colonial Cousins over there a great Independence Day, have a "Good Un" y'all.

I promise my next Robin will be on a lush green lawn, maybe even with a worm.

He just took a bath and is squeaky clean!
