Ontario, Canada. May 2019. Very common in Canada, but a smart bird, and always a popular rarity when they turn up in the UK.
Looking very seasonally coloured, I found this American Robin partaking in the plentiful bounty of orange berries at Buttertubs Marsh in Nanaimo BC Canada.
Living up to its name--part of a migratory flock of about 20 that came to my back yard on November 12, fluttering and chirping and bathing. This was taken through my bedroom window.

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.

Partially leucistic robin in nearby park in Central PA. Leucism causes some normally dark feathers to become white.

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.

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...

...ce petit Merle, bien cadré dans un rayon de soleil, espérait le retour de son parent, sommeillant par moments.

Le plus jeune aperçu cette année, toujours "le précieux" !
Et même si demandant, c'est toujours le plus beau, jusqu'à ce qu'il se change en un grand du quartier!... .)
...this little Robin, well framed in a ray of sunshine, hoped for his parent's return, dozing at times (previous photo in comm)
The youngest seen this year, always "the precious" !
And even if demanding, it's still the most beautiful, until it turns into the big one on the block!....)
À tous les Papas, Bonne Fête!
