Another sign of spring

This robin chick was in the front garden right next to the house and obviously was kicked out of the nest before it was very proficient at flying … I suppose not unlike what some humans do to their kids, eh?

From wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_robin » “The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin.”
