American Robin
After observing a “momma” Robin with her bill full of earthworms making repeated trips to a Spruce tree in our backyard this morning, it became obvious she was feeding a youngster hidden somewhere in the tree. It took me quite a while to finally locate the recently-fledged Robin and several minutes more to find a semi-unobstructed view that would allow me to take a few pictures of the little guy (or gal). It was clear that junior was waiting expectantly it’s parent’s return and it was very alert to the sound any nearby Robin happened to make.
