There is just something about the robins around here that I like. It could be that they let me easily take their pictures, which is a main one. It could be that they like it here all year long, just like me! Or maybe it could be that they seem to really like the forest,b again just like me!
Robins can be found just about anywhere at just about any time here. I've seen them out in the open, and I've seen them in the deep forest. I've seen them sitting in large trees. I've seen them in small ones with a lot of branches, just like these. I've also seen them just walking along the ground. Everywhere is fine with them.
One of these birds in this tree could very well be the same bird on a cloud I showed you yesterday. The robins really like this tree, along with the other trees in this section of the forest. I know that if they are around I only have to look into the branches of this very tree to see at least a few of them.
I know most people here in the United States know robins for their red breast, but did you also know they have a white circle around each eye? They also have a snowy white section under their tails. I guess these are just a few of the obvious details about American robins.
I could go on all day with information about them, but that's better served by a more technical site than this one. I'm mostly just here to share my fun with you. Little bits and pieces of information along the way are the best way for me to do things. The most fun way for me to do things is to say, "Hey, look at that bird!"
Great shots of the robins, they are such pretty birds. I'm looking forward to our robins returning this spring. Of course we have no snow and almost spring like weather so it could be anytime now.
ReplyDeleteRobins are probably the most common bird in my backyard and the only ones who don't object to me taking their picture. So I like robins too. I didn't know about the rings around their eyes, now I'm going to have to dig up some of my pictures and take a closer look. That one in the last picture looks extra plump.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious. Have you always had robins staying through the winter? Here in central New England we have only noticed flocks of robins hanging around through the winter for about 5 years. Climate change perhaps?

In years past you would never see robins in the winter.It was the sign that spring was her.Now in the last two or three I have seen them around all winter.It must be climate change!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the robins has some fun -even in my case I will hardly see them around, nice photos!
ReplyDeleteI love red-breasted robins. I haven't seen one in years!
ReplyDeleteLook at those entangled branches..just awesome to see the robin was there too..Beautiful pictures Ratty.
ReplyDeleteYou do seem to love these robins, Ratty, and consequently, you've given me such an appreciation for them. I don't think I've ever seen a robin in the 33 years I've been in San Francisco but, when I'm at my mother's in GA, I frequently see them, and all kinds of other birds, in her back yard....and plenty of squirrels!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm not as big a fan of robins as you, but at least I don't have to listen to them here!
ReplyDeletewow, I thought they all come out more often during spring, but good to know they are around at this time of year to cheer your day.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the Robins Ratty...Come on spring! :o)
ReplyDeleteWe rarely see robins here in Southern California (not to mention snow!), so it's a treat to get a look at them on your blog. They are very pretty birds and it's odd to think that they are so common in other parts of the country.
