They're BACK!/ My World

Robin, a SURE sign of spring

Actually the robins have been back for at least a week but Saturday was the first day I was able to catch one with my camera.

Please note: Macro Monday is HERE.

    We don't have many red-breasted robins here, so he's a sight for sore eyes!

    Me, too, me too! I was taking a photo in the dusk of, I thought, a mourning dove. It was a robin... hooray!

    BTW
    Any thoughts on my post ageism and marketing?

    A beautiful bird, but I'm most impressed with your ability to capture this feathered friend with such color and clarity! Superb!

    This is a beautiful photo. I love Robins. Each year, my grandpa and I report when each of us sees a Robin. They will always be special to me.

    I saw three all standing around in Moccasin Trail Park by the DVP last week. Yay, Robins! Though I guess I could say I'd never left...

    No red robins here either, but quite a few turquoise birds. I love when nature fills with animals, and the one thing that marks spring's arrival for me in Sweden is when I hear the birds again.

    How lucky you have been - a spring is there and robins too! Congrats - your photo is perfect :)

    We have got swans back to the middle of snow, hopefully they will find something to eat.

    Have a nice Tuesday!

    I haven't noticed any Robins yet, but have heard more bird song the last week, so will have to take note of who's singing!

    Very different from the robins here in the UK, they stay all winter. Good photograph!

    I can't wait to hear the early evening song of robins. Just a few more weeks and they'll be out in full force.

  36. MojoMarch 23, 2009 at 9:25 PM

    They don't usually leave here even in the winter, but they've been especially active the last couple of weeks here. Them and every other kind of bird known to zoology!

    I managed a few shots of them, but all the branches around my house are too high up to get this kind of angle. Great shooting!

    I like robins. We also have the red-breasted ones. Your photo is really very good. I can't take such photos. My camera is not good enough. And you have an eye for photograghy!

    I saw a robin in Oak Ridges 2 Saturdays ago, and one in my back yard last week.... so spring is definitely here!
    Plus the nasty mean starlings are raiding the sparrow's nests in my multi-apartment bird house for nesting material and the poor sparrows are nearly delirious with anger!

    You could have participated to Ruby Tuesday with this capture.

    Perfect.
