American Robin
With the frigid temperatures, the local ‘land’ birds in our community have been scarce, only out from their shelter to seek food. Sunday we awoke to a gorgeous sunny morning and the winds had died down, finally. Made the morning feel like early spring. That wasn’t only my opinion, I could hear land birds singing their enjoyment as well!
This fine-looking fella was no exception. He, too, was very happy to feel the sun’s warmth. So much so, he obliged in giving me a nice photo session.

I hadn’t seen a robin for so long, it was a happy sighting…..and a promise Spring will be here soon!
These are great shots Donna! That’s a handsome Robin! 🙂
Thanks HJ! 🙂
It’s nice to see great photos of a robin, but I’m afraid that it’s a little confused as far as how close spring is.
He’s like all of us, staying positive it is coming! lol Toda,y it is 49 days til spring. 🙂
Very handsome. I love the shot with the berries around the Robin.
I was actually sitting still in my car trying to capture another bird, when the Robin flew to the berry tree. I guess he thought I should being photographing him instead! lol Berries are always an added plus with color in a bird shot.
How beautiful and how amazing photographs… Thank you, love, nia
Thank you Nia!
They’re are Robins around Madison all winter long, but I never see them in my yard, not enough berries to eat, I suppose. When they do show up I feel spring is right around the corner. Can’t come fast enough for me! Thanks for these pics though!
We’re all begging for spring to hurry up! The Robin made me feel at least more optimistic it’s getting closer. 🙂
Great shots of the American Robin, Donna. 🙂
Thank you, as HJ said, he is a handsome fella! 🙂
Oh, spring! It will be a while but I will take this as a promise.
49 more days, Jane! 🙂 And for you, I know it can’t come soon enough with all that Canada snow and cold!
I have become a real “wuss”.
The freeze/thaw cycles have left so many deep icy ruts and crust on the snow that is left-not great for skiing walking or skating on rinks.
Terrific bird in a beautiful setting! Great pics!
Thanks Phil! I love bird captures when berries are in the shot, and I finally lucked out with one for myself. Just wish it hadn’t been so cloudy a day….
Wow a robin…could this be a sign of Spring? Great photos too Donna!
We’re hoping, David! Still can’t come fast enough though…. 🙂
What a proud robin,
he’s not too dissimilar to our British one! Lovely shots 😀 x
They always do stand proud, don’t they?! 🙂 Thanks Becky!
