Robin by aecasey

Robin

The yard is filled with birdsong and there is a constant flow of traffic around the feeders. However, I swear they all have a sixth sense, for every time I approach a window they flit off. You can see this robin knew he was being watched, but the draw of the water was enough to keep him still long enough for a photo op. Not entirely satisfied as I had to shoot through glass, but, Mission accomplished!
This is lovely! What a gorgeous bird. We don't get these in the UK.

@dandolo Thank you. I was surprised at how cute and petite your robins are. This is an American Robin, which is a member of the Thrush family. They are not a songbird, but they are very vocal.

Great shot, especially if you shot it through the window. I tried to capture a female cardinal today but Rufus foiled the mission.

Great capture, April. As Dandolo says, our Robins are small but robust little birds that are surprisingly territorial.
