Wild Bird Wednesday and
My Corner of the World

male American Robin, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, February 7, 2020 |
American Robins,
Turdus migratorius, are the largest American members of the Thrush family. Their main food sources are insects, worms, and fruit.
|
female American Robin |
They can be found over most of the North American continent with the northernmost birds migrating south during the coldest weather. They are so well-known that bird guide books sometimes use them to describe the sizes of other birds: "smaller than a Robin" "larger than a Robin" "Robin-sized."
Have a wonderful day!

American Robins remain here in ever greater numbers each winter. I saw eight in a tree yesterday.

ReplyDeleteHello, Pretty Robin photos. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Our robins stay year round and have been singing lately.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to our first sighting of robins!
ReplyDeleteThe robins I saw yesterday had aligned themselves along the roofline of a building, and I did a doubletake, because they were so perfectly separated as to look like ornamental architecture.
ReplyDeleteDe enorme beleza.
ReplyDeleteFascinantes passarinhares.
Sorrisos de luz.

...back home they are a sure sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteI saw a couple of them here a week ago and it is going to be very cold here for them tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteI imagine we won't see any until the end of April.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! I'm glad you shared your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!
