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.
We had freezing rain, sleet and very cold weather today. I had a big flock of robins in my yard and they had frozen tails. This guy's solution was to sit on a frogs head & puff up.

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is the state bird of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. This makes it one of the most popular state birds, and it is often seen in state flags, coins, shields, seals, and other symbols. The American Robin is an omnivorous bird that eat a wide variety of different foods, including earthworms, caterpillars, snails, spiders, berries, and fruit. American robins have exceptionally keen eyesight that allows them to see the tiny disturbances in the soil that indicate where worms are moving. This is how robins find worms, though they also use their senses of hearing and touch as part of their hunting as well. American Robins have a flexible, complex syrinx voice box that allows them to create highly varied, warbling songs. American robins are often part of the morning chorus and will sing for hours to attract mates and advertise the territory they have claimed. In the backyard, American Robins will often snack on jelly, mealworms, and suet, and they will also sample nuts and seeds, though they do not eat these foods as frequently. This American Robin was photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.

This 'All-American' Robin, prim and proper, was not my focus of attention at the time but 'made my day' as I turned and captured the image.
Good morning everyone and I hope you had a nice weekend. Just a single pic of a female American Red-breasted Robin (Turdus migratorius) taken on a very cold day in February. Normally by now I'd be posting photos of butterflies and dragonflies instead of so many bird pics, but not this year. Very late start to the "bug season" as cooler than normal temps continue to persist. As a result butterflies, and especially dragonflies, have been "waiting in the wings" until things improve. I'm hoping that will change this week, but until then please bear with my bird pics. Thank you...
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly great last few days of April.

I was strolling through the Japanese Garden when I heard a lovely song... it took a few minutes, but I found the singer.
Thank you for your comments and faves – they are greatly appreciated!

I can’t help feeling sorry for birds that have to feed and navigate in the rain (or snow or sub-freezing conditions). This robin is one of a flock of maybe 50 that has been flying back and forth from my home to other neighbors’ this rainy day before moving on in their northward migration.

Figures it was a robin. They do love a good bath. They don't like to share either & I noticed there were no other birds there while the robin was having his bath.

2-10-16 Huntington Lakes in Delray Beach Florida (Home) ...I know Robins are a very common bird for those in the Northern part of the county but in South Florida it is a real treat to see them. Today on the old golf course there were a couple of hundred of them picking in the grass and occasionally landing in a tree.
I went to Semiahmoo hoping to see ocean birds, it seems instead I got distracted along the way. Lots of parent birds collecting goodies for their youngsters.
We saw this Robin along old 131 Trail in the Kickapoo Valley Reserve.
He/she is perching on a tree that is full of Bittersweet vines.
Like a kid in a down jacket that seems a bit too big this young Robin was looking a bit like a pillow as it fluffed its feathers against the first cold snap of the season.
The American robin is a migratory bird and widely distributed throughout North America. The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits, and berries. It is among the earliest birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
This bird collected many small beach arthropods before flying back up into the trees near the beach.
It was a typical dreary Oregon coast morning.
Otter Rock, Oregon
July 24, 2024
Today is a Sunday so, like yesterday, I am staying home to avoid the masses of people, including birders and photographers who have multiplied during the pandemic, who will be packing the parks and natural areas. Does anyone care about social distancing?! There are things I need to get done, so a drive out of the city will have to wait. Ha, so far today, I have managed to get a couple of photos of a House Sparrow which landed on the scaffolding outside my window!
I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken the same day.
"I managed to get out on the afternoon walk four days ago, on 12 June 2016, and it was very enjoyable, as was a stop at the Good Earth cafe afterwards : )
As usual on our birding walks, I take very few photos, so after this walk, I decided I would drive to a wetland in SW Calgary to check on the Red-necked Grebes. The light was harsh and I had to look into the sun and couldn't even tell if there were any babies. Obviously the wrong time of day to go there.
From there, I decided to go SW of the city and check on Bluebirds, Snipe and maybe even a Great Gray Owl if I was very lucky. Only stopped at one Bluebird box and the parents were busy bringing insects to feed their babies. Every now and then, a baby would peer out of the small hole, so I know it won't be long till they fledge. An American Robin flew to the fence post next to the male Bluebird at one point, as if to ask for its photo to be taken, too. What a sight to see the two birds together - brilliant blue and bright red.
Driving along one road to search for an owl, I noticed a truck pulled over in the distance. I always slow right down when I see a vehicle stopped, just in case it is a photographer taking photos of something interesting. I never want to spook a bird or animal and spoil a photographer's fun. I was so focused on the truck, looking to see if there was a driver pointing a camera, that at first I didn't notice the person standing the other side of the road OR the owl sitting on the fence! When I realized it was a friend, I pulled over, got out and took a few photos. I don't know if this was one of the two Great Grays that I had seen within the last couple of weeks. It is possible either way.
Also spotted two distant Bobolinks chasing each other and then disappearing - no chance for a photo. That is, until two evenings ago! I was SO thrilled to find them (maybe 5?)! These birds are rare in Alberta and are much sought after by birders. I was unable to go and check on the Bluebirds the previous evening, as I had dropped off my car ready to be serviced the following day. I collected it in time - $1,300 later! - to go for a drive. So glad I went, as luck and timing were both on my side. The Bobolinks were on the far side of the road and I managed to get just a few distant, very poor shots before a truck came along and off they flew. I drove down the road and turned around, hoping to see them again, but they didn't reappear. I was just happy to get any kind of photo as a record of this special sighting."
Shot through a windowscreen, the nest is located just two meters off the ground on a small electrical meter box with lots of human traffic on the walkway below it. The robin layed no eggs and was gone a few days after we noticed it.
