“The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness….. American Robins are fairly large songbirds with a large, round body, long legs, and fairly long tail. Robins are the largest North American thrushes, and their profile offers a good chance to learn the basic shape of most thrushes. Robins make a good reference point for comparing the size and shape of other birds, too….. American Robins are industrious and authoritarian birds that bound across lawns or stand erect, beak tilted upward, to survey their environs. When alighting they habitually flick their tails downward several times. In fall and winter they form large flocks and gather in trees to roost or eat berries.”

A beautiful moment as the flurries faded away and the sun broke through the clouds. The birds were feasting on the large dark berries. Fish Crows, Cedar Waxwings and American Robins..... I'm not sure what species of tree this is.
We are still under a Snowfall Warning today, 10 November 2019. Roughly 5" of fresh snow fell in the city overnight. Our temperature today is -14C (windchill -23C). "Lingering snow makes for difficult travel, amid January-like cold" says the Weather Network.
After posting nine cold, snowy, 'winter' (i.e. Alberta fall!) images this morning, I needed to finish off with a splash of warm colour. This photo was taken on 18 May 2016, in the cemetery adjacent to the Reader Rock garden. I will add what I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same day.
"Three days ago, on 18 May 2016, I went to what was most likely my last volunteer shift. I have been volunteering there for about 18 years and it has been a wonderful experience. However, as the number of clients constantly rises, even more so with the poor state of the economy, the problem of parking has become a real issue. Though we have to park on the nearby street, usually at the very far end of it, I now find that each time I go, I have to park further and further away. There is no sidewalk on which to walk and there are many huge trucks coming and going all the time. Makes for a dangerous walk. In winter, it will be even worse. I always walk in pain and yesterday was, I think, the final straw, when I had to park even further away. I have been volunteering at various places for the last 36 or so years, so I know I will miss it, but I was just not enjoying the long walk and always wondering if I was even going to be able to find a parking spot. I know I will miss good, long-time friends there, terribly. Unfortunately, a number of other people have also had to make the difficult decision to leave.
Anyway, after my shift, I thought I had better call in at the Reader Rock Garden, in case I don't get over there for a long time. I wasn't sure about the weather and I did feel the odd raindrop, plus it was rather windy. However, the scent around the garden was wonderful - I could have stayed there for hours, just breathing it in. Plenty of flowers to enjoy.
The few workers do such a great job of keeping this place looking beautiful. If you visit and you happen to see one of the staff or volunteers, do let them know how much you appreciate all their hard work and care. I know they would appreciate it."
A pair of American Robin (Turdus migratorius) at our bird bath. The one on the left, I believe to be an immature female.
It is most important to provide birds with water when the weather is below freezing. They have no other source as every is ice. I heater will ensure that the water in the bath doesn't freeze.
The birds are as active at the water as they are at the feeders.
Existe una superstición entre los habitantes de Quebec según la cual todo aquel que vea el primer zorzal robín de la primavera ............tendrá buena suerte ♥

Flegling baby American Robin on a fence post.. Empress Park Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 26 June 2023
An American Robin couple was hanging out along the edge of Lyman Pond near the pink Star Magnolia last evening. That usually means they have a nest nearby although I haven't found it yet. They're never aggressive even when their nests are in low-growing shrubs or in the lattice roof of the conservatory. But they make their presence known. :)

Meadville, PA. A robin takes in the sun after a late season snow. Thanks for looking and any feedback.
American Robin, Turdus migratorius, 25-26 cm. / 10 in. COMMON and widespread in a variety of habitats, including the suburbs. Not a proper robin, more like a "Worm-eating or Red-breasted Lawn-Thrush".

Turdus migratorius. Keflavík. A vagrant and a new lifer. 26 cm. 77g. WS 38cm.
Very rare vagrant to Iceland from N-America and fewer than 10 records.
Some birds seem so curious to me. And this American Robin was one of those birds. She hopped through the shadows into the the light even though she already had her nibble.
Better enlarged. A minor crop.

Taken at 6:47 am on 28 May 2023.
Thursday, 1 June 2023: our temperature is only 12°C (windchill 9°C) at 10:00 am. Sunrise was at 5:27 am and sunset is at 9:41 pm. Cloudy and windy this morning, with desperately needed rain expected.
The annual May Species Count for our area started at 6:30 am on 28 May 2023, but I managed to get to the area a bit early (around 6:10 am) so that I could check for Wilson's Snipes at one of the locations. Saw and photographed two and then heard a third one. Normally, I am never up and ready at such an unearthly hour! The secret for this day was that I simply stayed up all night. I had been busy on my computer till late at night and then was concerned that if I did go to bed, I would very likely sleep right thrrough my alarm clocks that were set for 4:00 am.
Our group of three people stopped at seven different locations during the day, gradually working our way further west till we reached highway 762. One of our first stops was enjoying Barb's acreage. Though I didn't get any decent bird shots, I was happy to see an American Goldfinch and an Evening Grosbeak.
Quite a few of the birds on the Count were not seen by me - I just don't have the experience of spotting small birds flitting about in the trees. My knowledge of bird songs is extremely poor, too.
The weather was beautiful all day, apart from the very low cloud early in the morning. The two 'real' birders did a great job of finding 65 or 66 bird species. Perhaps the highlight -certainly for me - was finding two Bobolinks, though I only saw one of them. Far away, but I have posted a really bad photo just as a record of the sighting. There are a lot of much better images of these beautiful birds in my Bobolink album.
A great day!

I thought I'd take a break from bear photos and post a few pictures of birds starting with one of the very first shots I took on arrival late afternoon in Terrace. The American Robin is a new bird for my 'World Bird List' (seen and photographed), which takes my tally up to 848 species.
