Robin

American Robin, Turdus migratorius. Two in one of my Eastern Red Cedar trees chowing down. They love those berries.

Robins have no concept of the legends we humans have, such as Robins being a sign of spring. This photograph was taken in December. They’re around my cabin from time to time throughout the winter. Silly Robins.

Wishing you the best in the coming spring!

One thought on “Robin”

  1. I contacted Cornell once because I saw some Robins over the winter up North and that’s when I learned that they will stay in area with ample food such as delicious cedar berries. I even saw a picture someone documented of one eating a small fish! I love to watch them come through CK (my winter home) where we have lots of loaded Cedars in town. It was also surprising to watch them feed on date palms! That is a sight I had never seen before, Robins in Palm Trees??? That squelched the Robin Spring fairy tail for me ha ha.
