The American Robin fledgling found a friend of the same age in a Brown-Headed Cow bird.
The Brown-headed Cowbird is a stocky blackbird with a fascinating approach to raising its young. Females forgo building nests and instead put all their energy into producing eggs, sometimes more than three dozen a summer. These they lay in the nests of other birds, abandoning their young to foster parent. I do not think the Robin's parents raised this Cowbird but I am not 100% sure. I think these two young ones just were having fun imitating each other.

The American Robin, the "harbinger of Spring", sings it out from the highest treetop. I can't say I've ever actually seen/heard one sing before - what a joy it was.
For the Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere) - an image from October, filled with light. A robin rests on a frosted branch and flexes its talons. Light was bouncing around everywhere that morning while the robins fed on some crabapples clinging to my neighbour's tree. Like most of us, they likely were caught by surprise by the sudden blast of pre-winter winter weather. I think the plan was to fuel up and get out of Dodge. Hope they all made it!

A moment caught, a silent hymn, Of Robin's life, and nature's whim. In the quiet, he stands so small, Yet in this scene, he owns it all
The surface still, a mirror clear, Reveals his form so bright, so near. Feathers gray, and breast of rust, A fleeting moment, pure and just.
His image ripples, soft and slight, As the morning sun begins its flight. A robin drinks, a simple grace, In water's calm, he sees his face.

"The quintessential early bird, American Robins are common sights on lawns across North America, where you often see them tugging earthworms out of the ground. Robins are popular birds for their warm orange breast, cheery song, and early appearance at the end of winter. Though they’re familiar town and city birds, American Robins are at home in wilder areas, too, including mountain forests and Alaskan wilderness... An American Robin can produce three successful broods in one year. On average, though, only 40 percent of nests successfully produce young. Only 25 percent of those fledged young survive to November. From that point on, about half of the robins alive in any year will make it to the next. Despite the fact that a lucky robin can live to be 14 years old, the entire population turns over on average every six years."

Our 5yr old Grand daughter wanted to watch "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" which I was able to find on youtube.. While I was searching for it, I came across this information about the real Christopher Robin.
mashable.com/2015/09/22/real-christopher-robin/
The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European robin[2] because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast
This Juvenile American Robin was being very well fed by one of its parents. Seen near Niagara Falls in Goldstream Provincial Park, Vancouver Island.
Merle d'Amérique | American robin | Turdus migratorius
En attendant les Jaseurs...
Je suis allé sur deux sites différents en cette avant-veille de Noël, les Merles d'Amérique et les Étourneaux sansonnets étaient fort abondant dans les arbres encore bien gorgés de fruits, en attendant que les Jaseurs d'Amérique et Boréaux décident de s'imposer... Une belle session sous cette lumière de fin d'avant-midi, au moment où elle si belle lors des journées les plus courtes de l'année. Toujours un plaisir de les capter en hiver ces merles parés alors d'un si beau et différent plumage. Des promeneurs profitant de cette belle journée froide d'hiver, passant près de moi, m'ont interrogé sur l'espèce de ces oiseaux, grande fut leur surprise d'apprendre qu'il s'agissait de Merles d'Amérique qu'ils connaissent pourtant si bien lorsqu'ils sont munis de leur plumage estival.
You will observe that most of these wild grapes have already been eaten.
Beside Bronte Marsh in Oakville, Ontario
I've watched a couple of robins throughout the spring and on through the summer building a nest, losing the nest to a powerful storm and then rebuilding another nest within days...and this time with success. The young fledgling in the previous picture was a result of their tireless drive to continue the species through incredible odds made up of weather conditions and predators ...and that is just to get them hatched...now the feeding! I've seen so many worms in a beak at one time that it would make a fisherman envious!! It really is an amazing process and one that is not hard to relate to as life throws up all the stuff we humans have to get through and then I think, how nice of nature to give us lessons like this along our way...just a thought....
thank you so much for your visits and inspiration!
From the low angle you might think that I was lying on the ground but you would be wrong. The reality was that I was walking home from Bronte Harbour having taken no photos there but at least I had succeeded in buying a loaf of bread. The camera was turned off and the lens cap on when I saw this bird was on the lawn of Walton Memorial Church. The church has a chest-high retaining wall between its front lawn and the sidewalk so the low angle was obtainable easily.

Sitting for my breakfast and watching the birds bathing from the window.
I must get heated birdbath for the Winter either solar or electric.
