Is this a robin??? Are you sure? Our robins are much smaller and absolutely rounder. The one which lives in our garden during wintertime is not to be seen anywhere in spring and summer. He must be there, but I cannot find him. Ungrateful bird, after all those oatmeal I have served him ;-)
Kj, so loely of you to post a photo of "my Cousin"! A-ha-ha! Now, you KNOW Spring is here...as Wienke observed, my "European Cousins" are smaller, rounder and are Winter Birds. The American Version is darker, bigger and definitely a harbinger of Spring!
They are so beautiful. I love to watch birds. They are so graceful in flight. Grounded, their movements are twitchy and stilted. There's a lesson in there somewhere!
The robins are here in full force, making nests and generally declaring their territory. One male was sitting on my studio steps this morning; I was looking thru the window and he was looking back, completely nonplussed. They are BRAZEN! At least here!!! ;-D
I can't belive the number of robins I see on my walks! They're all listening intently for the earthworms that wriggle below. And how I love their morning songs! I love waking up to them.
But just as I'm in a trance on my walk listening to birdsong, you know who goes NUTS when she spies a squirrel and then my meditation is over.
hells, blogger ate my blogroll and i am slowly reconstructing. but certainly you should have been the NUMBER ONE restoration. :^) & ♥
pam, and meow, baaa, woof, and my personal favorite: whine xoox

Such a sweet, adorable post that just lit up my face! I love it - perfect for a sunny Thursday afternoon over here in Cali. :)

Damn dog. You know I love her ;)

One of my favorite things in the world is to hear the robin's song! I hope you are having a beautiful spring, Twinkles.
ReplyDeleteAnd why am I no longer in your blogroll????? Baino already said it much better. :0)

P.S. our robins are much, much bigger than old world robins.
