Burying beetles found the robin that I first photographed yesterday! Over the course of the day, it has slowly sunk into the earth.
Our back yard Val Marie, SK.
Cool Fact. 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.

Gathering food to take back to her nestling(s)
The snow is receding, the birds are singing, the crocuses are popping up all over the place ... It reminds me of Robert Browning's poem:
The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven—
All's right with the world!
God's in his heaven and all's right with the world ... Isn't it uplifting to see the signs of Easter time and spring?
I hope you and yours have a very Happy Easter. May God bless you during this Holy Season, keep you safe all through the year, and give you the faith it takes to make your dreams come true.
An apparent flock of migrating Robins stopped at my house recently. There were about a dozen birds in the group. They all took a turn at the fountain for drinks, and several took a quick bath. It was quite a sight.
However these two had some issues, or should I say the one on the fence. It was constantly picking on the other bird, which was also the fattest Robin I had ever seen. Every time the bird took a drink, or jumped in to bathe, the other one would make angry gestures at it, or physically drive it off the fountain (but it kept coming back).
The birds stayed in the yard about 15 minutes, picking at the lawn, in the weeds, etc., for food before moving on as a group.

Here's an American Robin I met at Sunken Meadow Park. While robins look pretty tame and trustful, they are not so easy to approach. This guy was not scared at all, I could walk around him to get a better light and he behaved as if I did not exist. Thank you for the cooperation
Robins are everywhere right now. Found this one in the late afternoon near my house. (turdus migratorius)
I decided to take a look at the nest tonight, and found it occupied.
I am a bit surprised that the shot came out -- it is a 1/30 second exposure with an 800mm lens. (I decided the 7 meter minimum focus distance would help me avoid alarming the bird. Plus, my next shorter lens was inside and my big lens and the tripod were both in the car outside.)

American Robin photographed at the USFWS Northeast Regional Office in Hadley, MA on 1 February 2014.
Young robins can be confusing if only for a minute or two.
This one doesn't have the typical black head and red breast of an adult.
It has a disk like patch on its cheek reminiscent of several other thrushes.
Robins, like some other birds have regional variations of songs.
We once followed an odd looking bird with a some what familiar song for 30 minutes in South Carolina.
It turned out to a robin.
Well a birder can't follow a robin for 30 minutes trying to identify it so it became a black headed, red breasted American thrush
Turdus migratorius
Robins eat a lot of fruit in fall and winter. When they eat honeysuckle berries exclusively, they sometimes become intoxicated.
The oldest recorded American Robin was 13 years and 11 months old.
Gowen, MI
Between the robins, the Yellow Warblers, and the Red-winged Blackbirds there was a full symphony of breeding song going on all day.
part of an enormous flock of robins that engulfed our yard for about an hour one morning, picked the trees bare, and flew away again.

Not exactly exchanging glances....
It seemed a little odd to me to see a robin and a red-winged blackbird sitting so near each other in the same tree. Unless they're at a backyard feeder, it's been my experience that different bird species tend to keep away from one another.
