The American Robin is known for its beautiful red breast. The nickname "robin redbreast" is well deserved. The females are more orange than red though. This subtle female is more subdued in color than most I've seen.
The other day I was heading out my front door when all of a sudden I saw this robin sitting in the holly bush..I went back inside and quickly grabbed my camera..Luckily he didn't move..I'm sure he was too happy sitting with all those berries.........This photo is not cropped..I was using my Sony H50 with my tele-conversion lens again..;)

"The American Robin eats both fruit and invertebrates. Earthworms are important during the breeding season, but fruit is the main diet during winter. Robins eat different types of food depending on the time of day; they eat earthworms early in the day and more fruit later in the day. Because the robin forages largely on lawns, it is vulnerable to pesticide poisoning and can be an important indicator of chemical pollution."
Enjoy!! Best viewed LARGE.
Most robins have migrated but this one is still around with the light snow which limit finding worms. The cooler weather would move worms deeper into the soil also.
Part 2 in my occasional series of pictures of common urban birds (part 1: my Day 49 shot of a European starling). This one, at least, is native. Next up: house sparrow?
This is not a very good picture. I know it. But I couldn't resist sharing it with you. The robin was on the far side of my garden, and this was shot on a cloudy day (already a problem when shooting with the S2) with the zoom and extender at full range of 48x, handheld. Remember the song, "When the red, red robin comes bob-, bob-, bobbin' along"? Well, this one was bobbing along, and each time it bobbed, it came up with another piece of nesting material, without dropping a single one from its full beak. it was quite a feat to witness.

The Robins are here all winter...but they start their singing to herald in spring. Not this day though....winter still lingers.

Went back to the nest today and found these little guys. The rain has taken a toll on the nest. A lot of the mud has been washed out.

Over the weekend, our "summer" robins
(Turdus migratorius) arrived in huge numbers. There must be over a hundred in the neighbor's holly trees. They will strip the trees of ALL their berries within the next few days, and then they will go. With the cold weather, and only my little bowls of water, there is fierce competition for a drinking spot!!

It was a cold morning, with a little skim of ice on the drip pond. This brave American Robin is deciding if the water looks bath-worthy.

As the numbers of fruits diminished, the birds had to become more acrobatic to reach the last of the berries.
Well it is springtime and the two robins interacting are fighting over a third robin out of the frame. These two went at it hot and heavy for sometime, nobody was giving up.

Good morning. When cleaning up my files on the computer recently I realized I hadn't posted any images of one of my favorite birds being the American Red-breasted Robin (Turdus migratorius). And for the record, this migratory songbird is not a true Robin, but a member of the Thrush family of birds. It was named in error as such by the first European settlers after a similar looking bird in their home countries.
A few side notes; 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. Lastly, both gender of the species look the same to the untrained eye, but I'm convinced these shots here are all of females :-)
I hope you enjoy this series of images, and find the provided information of interest, on this always friendly and unique North American bird.
Thank you for visiting...and I hope you have a most pleasant day.

I walked off the path and into the bush. Did it while I still could as the weeds and grass get uncomfortably tall and prickly by summer. This robin wasn't all too pleased to see me make the effort, though.

A few around even if this one is a bit tatty. Another bird seen at Britannia CA near Ottawa (Ontario/Canada).
American Robin feeding on Winterberry, Ilex verticillata, after fresh snowfall in Central Michigan, USA
We drive around the cemetery when out birding that way to see if you find anything other then robins and flickers
I did not have to wait long after I sat on the ground before this one hopped in.
I used my short lens so it was close.

There was some territorial disputes between this Robin and the Solitaire late fall / early winter. Although I didn't capture the action, it was nice to see both birds chasing off each other.
A rather large American Robin (Turdus migratorius) fattened up for the trip back north. I've seen many large flocks of Robins this past week. So have faith my northern friends, Spring can't be that far off.

I was a "dirty birdy" and took some shots of this one taking a bath... Hackettstown, NJ.
