I think our robins forgot to fly south for the winter or else they’ve come home too early. There was literally a whole flock of them in the trees at the front of our neighborhood feasting on the crabapples that are stilling clinging to the branches. They’re taunting me with thoughts of the spring that is still so far away.
What a fabulous moment you captured! And I am shocked that the robins are already somewhere in Indiana. I wonder if that means spring is that close, or they got fooled by that bit of really warm weather.
@anwan They’ve been here all winter, and I can’t recall ever seeing so many of them before. I’m in central Indiana. We have a row of about fifteen crabapple trees at the front of our neighborhood, and they’re flocking to them to eat. It’s very strange.
@filsie65@angelar I read on another 365ers photo that our robins are not really robins at all, but early British settlers called them robins due to their red breast. I love all of them, but I have come to adore your petite little robins. They are so cute!
@jennywren Thank you! Yes, i read that when the British settled here, they called them robins because of their red breasts, but in fact they are a type of thrush. I didn’t know that until a few weeks ago as we still call them robins! I adore the dainty English robins.
Love the detail and the color on this shot.
like the way you managed to catch him witth a berry in his beak.
