« Le Merle d’Amérique, Turdus migratorius, est l’un des oiseaux les mieux connus en Amérique du Nord. Le nom de « rouge-gorge » lui a été donné par les premiers colons qui, en raison de sa poitrine rougeâtre, croyait qu’il ressemblait au rouge-gorge de l’ancien monde. Toutefois, le Merle d’Amérique n’est pas un rouge-gorge, et, mis à part la coloration de sa poitrine, il ne ressemble en rien au petit oiseau brun d’Europe.
[...]
La plupart d’entre nous avons observé des Merles d’Amérique sur les gazons, déterrant et tirant sur des vers. Toutefois, les vers de terre ne fournissent qu’une partie de l’alimentation des Merles. Bien que des invertébrés, tels que des vers de terre, des coléoptères et des chenilles comptent pour environ 40 p. 100 de son alimentation, le Merle d’Amérique est avant tout une espèce frugivore et il se délecte des fruits du cerisier de Virginie, de l’épine-vinette commune et du sorbier. Il est aussi friand des cerises aigres-douces, de raisins de vigne et de tomates. Le Merle d’Amérique se nourrit d’invertébrés principalement au printemps et en été, et de fruits surtout en automne et en hiver. Il mange à l’occasion de petites couleuvres et des musaraignes, parfois, il ratisse le bord de la mer à marée basse à la recherche de mollusques ou entre dans l’eau jusqu’à la hauteur de la poitrine pour capturer de jeunes poissons. Le Merle d’Amérique glane principalement sa nourriture au sol lorsqu’il chasse les insectes ou se perche dans les arbres pour prendre des fruits, mais il peut aussi attraper des insectes au vol. Les oisillons encore au nid se nourrissent le plus souvent de vers de terre et de larves de coléoptères. »

As you can see, robins eat more than worms.

Every summer I have a large assortment of baby birds that have been dropped off at my yard by parents eager for them to learn to self-feed. There are lots of water and food sources easy for the juvenile to use. Parents will feed them for a couple of days then disappear, leaving the kids to fend for themselves. I had 3 baby robins in the yard on this hot day. This was the first one to find the birdbath.

Une sortie de trois jours : Le Parc de la Gatineau
Merci beaucoup pour vos visites et commentaires ♥
Le parc de la Gatineau est un parc fédéral canadien situé dans la région de l'Outaouais, au Québec. Il est administré par la Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) et non par Parcs Canada, ce qui en fait un cas unique parmi les parcs fédéraux du Canada.
Another sign of spring - if only the weather would get the memo!!
Side note - one of my contacts contacts (Klaus kjpweb) noticed that I was uploading in PNG and has given me the following information - flickr converts to JPEG anyway and not only do I lose my EXIF - I also lose my copyright information imbedded on my images - so I'm back to uploading in JPEG!!

Thoughts of spring to come and the variety of birds it will bring to our area!!!!

I went to the park Saturday, thinking it wasn't going to rain, of course by the time I got there it poured!
I watched the Robins attacking the Dogwood berries-they did not appreciate me being an audience.
I'm not exactly sure how long it took for nearly 100 American Robins to strip the berries on two trees covered with ivy berries bare. It must have been somewhere between 15-30 minutes. I was hoping that the berries would attract Cedar Waxwings, no such luck. Salmon Creek, Vancouver, Washington.
Wondering if this is the same bird that nested 2 feet outside our office window last year. No eggs yesterday, one today.
Maybe the song's about my cousin Luella Mae (she's a second cousin twice removed). American Robin, Vancouver, Washington

I looked out my window and saw two kiddos having a playdate in my yard. I have baby birds everywhere right now.

Two were asleep & two still demanding food. Dad seemed to be doing food duty. This is mom perched on the side of the nest. I never managed to see a feeding but hey, there was a birthday party going on.
