I'll always take what a Robin gives me when it comes to poses. Seen in Beggar's Tick Wildlife Area in Portland of Multnomah Co., Oregon.

Juvenile Sunbathing ~ American Robin ~ Turdus migratorius ~ Merle d'Amerique ~ My yard in Sparta, NJ
The "Beaver" of the bird world... These so very common birds in our area are often overlooked but they are so very hard working and have one of the prettiest songs of all our urban birds.
It is named after the European Robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. It is a member of the Thrush family and shares their great singing voice.
Happy Feathery Friday...
I was driving down my driveway on the way to work the other morning and spotted these robins engaged in combat. I didn't have much time, but stopped long enough to try to catch the action.
By the end of the day, I'd seen and photographed all three babies. Meanwhile, both parents were working hard to locate the babies and make sure they were in safe places.
...and best viewed large on on black.
Good morning everyone and Happy Feathery Friday. With the warmer weather now upon us birds are once again visiting the birdbath, both to drink and bathe. As a result I thought I'd begin a new set featuring all the 2011 visitors. I mentioned last week I was going to post some photos of Cedar Waxwings at the birdbath, but decided to postpone it a week to start the set with the most frequent user of the birdbath, being the American Red Breasted Robin (Turdus migratorius).
Pictured in these photos is a male. They were taken earlier this week so disregard the "taken" date, upper right. I used our back-up K10D model camera for these pics since we had to send out the K20D for repair and I forgot to set the date and time in the camera since it didn't dawn on me to do so in spite of it being stored away for a while.
Contrary to its name the American Red Breasted Robin is not a true Robin, but a member of the Thrush family of birds and is a unique North American bird. It was named as such by the first European settlers after a similar looking, but much smaller bird, in their home countries.
I hope you enjoy this series and set as the season progresses...and I hope you have a very nice Friday and most pleasant weekend.

I think...I just had a blast shooting these guys eating berries in the snow earlier this week and I keep finding shots that I like
Rufous-bellied Thrush ~ Turdus rufiventris ~ Merle à ventre roux ~ Zorzal colorado ~ Rio de la Plata ~ River Plate ~ River of Silver ~ Fleuve de l'Argent ~ Buenos Aires, Argentina
Typically these berries are gone 2 weeks before Christmas. This year, with a hawk making the tree his hideout, the berries still remain. We saw several hawks around our property today... Still... they do look like very good berries...

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!!

We don't talk as much late in the summer. You were like the lifeblood of cheerfulness back in the spring.

It eventually made it up into a tree and stayed there for quite a while making it easy on the parents to find it!
My feeders seem to have developed a robin. In my observations, this is unusual - I've had feeders out here for years, and have very rarely seen robins having anything to do with them. When I've seen them, they've been on the ground, and don't stick around.
This one, however, has been hanging around for several weeks now, and I regularly see it up on one of the feeders, though it does prefer to be on the ground. It's less skittish than the other birds, sometimes staying when I open my door to scare away the starlings, which unfortunately often scares away everything else as well, but the others recover faster than the starlings.
I've been enjoying the company of this robin this year. This photo was taken during the Great Backyard Bird Count a couple weeks ago.
