Is this an American Robin? In a manual mode, I took a lot of bird shots yesterday and this one I guess is the best one that I got. First time in a tripod and in a manual mode bird shot. I hope you like it, my dear Flickr friends!
Thanks, Stavenn, for the ID!
This American Robin seemed to be fairly skinny and appears to have something wrong with its wing, although it seemed to be able to fly fairly well. Boundary Bay, Delta, B.C.
American Robin seen along Vermillion Lakes Rd in Banff National Park on Apr 7. There were about 20 of them and they sure were into the blue berries on these bushes.

One of hundreds of American Robins hitting the fruit at Riverhill Farm, Nevada Co, California on 31 December 2016.
I find it kind of interesting to capture birds at high shutter speeds as they bathe. For sure you can capture scenes that the naked eye never sees. This was shot at 1/2000sec. Check it out in lightbox, press "L"
When I first saw this bird I thought it was injured, as it did not move for the longest time. When I returned with my camera it simply watched me until I was close enough to touch it. Too close to make a photo with the 400mm lens that I had brought, so I backed off a bit. Apparently, it was just gathering its strength and nerve to fly away, which it did after 15 minutes or so.

Good morning everyone. Just a single pic of a American Red-breasted Robin (Turdus migratorius). Robins as they simply are called are considered by many as the harbingers of spring, so a Springtime series wouldn't be complete without at least one pic of one.
A few side notes; this songbird is not a true Robin, but a member of the Thrush family. It was named in error as such by the first European settlers after a similar looking bird in their home countries, of which is a much smaller bird. The American Robin is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Due to its unique eggs it has the distinction of having a color named after it being "Robin-egg blue", which can best be described as the same as a bright Autumn sky with a hint of green. And it might explain why although brood parasitism by the Brown-headed Cowbird occurs, it is rare because the Robin usually rejects the Cowbird eggs. While both gender of the species look similar, the male as seen above has a more solid colored orange-red breast where as the female typically has a lighter colored breast with some streaking.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you are having a truly nice week.

One has to do acrobatics to get the berries sometimes.
Uno tiene que hacer acrobacia para conseguir las bayas a veces.
I usually visit the Park Sunday morning, and go off and do other things Saturday, and though I had several out of town offers-I decided to stay in town this Saturday. And since tomorrow it's supposed to rain, rain, rain (or maybe snow) I thought I'd visit my birdies in the Park this morning instead of tomorrow.
This is the third time I've observed a bird behavior called "sunning." One reason for it is, likely, to help rid the bird of feather parasites. Since they look at-risk, I was relieved to learn the cause! On August 14, 2020, I saw this American Robin in Troy, New York, USA. I have also seen a Blue Jay & a Downy Woodpecker exhibiting this behavior. www.flickr.com/photos/mudder_bbc/4770573413/ Here is a link to further information on this topic. www.audubon.org/news/hot-bothered-and-parasite-free-why-b...

Turdus migratorius American Robin male taken on the Santa Rosa Creek Trail west of Willowside Road, Sonoma County, California. He was in a protective mood, with a female feeding nearby.
Incredibly resourceful and adaptable, the American Robin is one of our most frequently seen migratory songbirds, and one of the most noble in my opinion. This one was perched on top of snag in the middle a pond near Whitehorse, searching for insects to feed its nestlings. They seem to have incredible vision from high on their perch, and can spot a small insect or grub from 30 feet away. A member of the thrush family, the phrase birders use to help remember their beautiful song is "cheerily cheer-up".
Speaking of resourceful and adaptable, though temperatures occasionally reached the minus 30's during the last month and the ground is blanketed in snow, a few robins can still be seen in Whitehorse, eating berries in people's yards and foraging on the shore of the Yukon River near the dam. If they stick around, they'll likely die from the extreme cold and lack of food.
If you view this large you can clearly see how craggy the bird's legs and feet are. Indicating it's probably quite old.

American Robin 'hovering' for a drip; 20Jan14 BushPhoto
The Central Coast of California is in drought conditions. The annual rainfall in our Mediterranean climate is 22"/year. In 2013 we received less than 5". While we can expect regular rains to begin in October, there has been no rainfall this wet season - yet. And none in the two week forecast.
This robin is simply desperate for water and finding it wherever and however it can.

Robins don’t just eat worms around my place. They regularly partake at my seed feeders, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen one at the suet feeder.
