One of a flock of American Robins spring foraging on the ground and eating Russian Olive berries. Les Sherman Park, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 27 March 2022
American Robins are actually members of the thrush family, and not at all related to the Robins in Europe. The youngsters look a bit different than the adults do.
American Robin.
9 to 11 inches in length. Gray above and brick red below. In males, the head and tail is black while females are dull gray. Young birds have a spotted breast area.
Inhabits towns, gardens, open woodlands and agricultural land.
They range from Alaska east to Newfoundland and south to California in the west and Texas and South Carolina in the east. They winter as far north as British Columbia and Newfoundland.

I think many of us are guilty of not paying much attention to Robins. Look a little closer and you'll notice there's a lot more subtlety to these birds than you remember.

The Robins have been around in large numbers feasting on the frozen berries and from the looks of them they are eating quite well. By now the berries have fermented and after filling their bellies they get just a bit drunk and commence to fly about barely in control.
An American Robin (Turdus migratorius) announcing Spring two years ago. We're already running two weeks behind last year in terms of early blooming woody shrubs and plants, but the Robins are here and ready!
Happy Fence Friday, my friends, have a wonderful weekend. And, if you're in the U.S. don't forget to "spring forward" tomorrow evening! :)
Today a huge flock of American Robins descended on the two trees in back of my place that are covered with ivy. Some people think the ivy is good for nothing, but the robins would disagree. Salmon Creek, Vancouver, Washington

The American Robin Turdus migratorius is one of the best-known birds in North America. It was given its name by the early settlers, who thought that, with its reddish breast, it resembled the English Robin. However, the American Robin is a thrush, not a robin, and except for the colour of its breast, it does not look like the small brown European bird.

American Robin, keep meaning to upload something new maybe this weekend or when I get to be on staycation next week!

Lors de ma 1ère visite au Boisé Sainte-Dorothée en quête de la lapone je serais revenu le bec à l'eau si ce n'eut été de cette prise à la sauvette dans un arbre bien fourni en merles d'Amérique. Celui-ci venait de "manger de la neige" sur sa branche. Alors qu'il relevait son bec après avoir "mangé", une multitude de petits cristaux se sont révélés dans les rayons du soleil. C'est ce que j'appelle un "Prix de consolation".
This American Robin probably decided that he could spend the Winter at this latitude. As a matter of fact, I was facing a tree full. Hard to choose, so I shot most of them.
Upon review, I was struck by the snow crystals suspended in the air after gobbling up some of the snow garnishing his perch.
American Robin (Turdus migratorius) fishing for minnows. They have adapted to using minnows as a winter food source where open water is available and the minnows concentrate. There were over 65 American Robins observed in the area of the seep and they continue to remain in this area as of today.
There were two types of small fish in this pond, one is a species of Stickleback noted in the image and the other is a species of Dace. There is a small seep or spring keeping the water open on a small pond in an urban park in northeast Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The light conditions were poor so fill flash was used to bring out some more detail in the bird.

It may look like this American robin (Turdus migratorius) is walking on water but it is actually the tube for the pond's aerator. The robins were attempting to hold off the starlings that had taken over the pond's stream. The starlings are usually in a group so they can intimidate the 'native' birds.
This opportunistic robin has taken up residence in my side garden and fiercely defends the feeder when he wants to eat.
I hope all my Flickr friends are well.

For Our Daily Challenge: What Lights Up Your Life?
Well, the easy answer to that is the beauty of nature. And because American robins are very common in our area, especially during the warmer months, I think that their beauty is often overlooked or taken for granted. I've been seeing a lot of robins lately, which is a good sign that Spring is on the way.
Flickr friends, I'll be offline for a good part of the day on Wednesday but will aim to catch up on comments in the evening.
Every day, when I turn on my backyard sprinkler, I create a combination water park and spa for the resident birds. Although bird activity has settled down in the heat of summer, a number of species show up regularly, including sparrows, yellow warblers, grackles, flickers, and the ubiquitous American Robin.
The robins can't resist this artificial rain, and if I sit just outside its reach with my tripod and big lens, they quickly get used to my presence. On this evening, a number of juveniles were hunting earthworms and other delectable morsels alongside the parent robins. The youngster in this photo was catching its share of worms but still spent considerable energy following its parent around, begging. The parent was having none of it; the weeks of stuffing kids' mouths all day long are now over, period. Deal with it, kiddo!

Turdus migratorius
An American Robin can produce three successful broods in one year. On average, though, only 40 percent of nests successfully produce young. Only 25 percent of those fledged young survive to November. From that point on, about half of the robins alive in any year will make it to the next. Despite the fact that a lucky robin can live to be 14 years old, the entire population turns over on average every six years.
