Robin by cjwhite

Robin

We had snow showers and freezing temps today. I went outside for pics, but I had to come back in when I couldn't feel my feet anymore!

The snowflakes were small and didn't last very long. They're hard to see, but there are flakes in the grass where this American Robin is standing.

American Robins are ground feeders. Their favorite foods are earthworms and fruit. They're usually in groups, but this little female was by herself today.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves on my cardinals!!! :0)

I have a page on facebook for my pics. If you would like to visit, it's My Little World Photography.
Beautiful shot! Love the snow on the grass and the great detail.

Great photo of the little beauty! I'll be so happy when Spring arrives and they come back here. Frigid here . . had to run back and forth to warm up in the car today while out shooting pics. This isn't fun anymore.

My yard was full of birds today. I took a picture of one I didn't recognize. I'll have too look back thru your bird pics and see if I see it, if not I'll post it later and you can tell me what it is. Nice shot of the robin.

Very interesting shot. I can see the snow in the grass. It looks to cold to get any worms. Excellent detail.

I saw this on My Little World first. It is gorgeous! Poor Robin...he must be frozen. I shot photos today until i had frost bite and I had on Purple Parka, hat, cashmere sweater, shirt under that, wool socks, and a glove on my left hand... brrr!

@espyetta Thank you! You need to get some fingerless gloves. I love mine. :0)

Looks like he is looking for food
February 12th, 2012  
@cjwhite Yes! I do!
February 12th, 2012  
Lovely photo! I wonder what she's eating....

@5unflow3r Thank you! Last week, when it was warm, I saw some worms. There are still lots of berries for them to eat. :0)

Our climates are so different at the moment. You are break into a sweat if you step out side. At least the birds are still out and about. Nice shot.
February 12th, 2012  
Great little Robin, but I think worms are out of the question for her today
February 12th, 2012  
@cjwhite Oh good...and yeah, you're right, we had some worms come out to avoid drowning a week or so ago...poor worms, must live in dirt, must get out when it rains, and they're blind and don't know that they are headed right towards a big puddle. Sheesh

What a mixed up winter! Nice capture!

So pretty. Yours are a bit different as ours. We have one/two visit our garden regularly.They are part of the family

carolyn this is fantastic - i did you know they were ground feeders - i love her in the snow - beautiful capture!
February 12th, 2012  
Great capture. I love robins - they are so sweet. A robin comes regularly to my garden to feed. We throw bread crumbs on the pavings to watch him eating them.
February 12th, 2012  
Great detail. I like the glitter off the grass. :)

Gorgeous little fella

Pretty photo of her in the snow! It was freezing cold here, too, and very windy! Stay warm!
February 12th, 2012  
Your robins look so different! Very pretty
February 12th, 2012  
Much more subtle colour than our flamboyant ones.

It's interesting how birds of the same name vary so much in different countries.
I saw one a UK (European?) robins yesterday who looked like a little tennis ball he was so round! He hid under a bush before I could get a picture of him though :(

Great capture

Thats a lovely capture. The composition is great and the feeling is wonderful. It really conveys a winter scene beautifully.
