The American Robins have come back strongly to the area. Spring is getting closer.
Click on the photo to get a better view.
I saw a different colored one in the field, a slate grey color with a white breast. It may be a female Towhee. The coloring truly stood out from the rest.
I think the American Robin has great eyes.
Here one sits in a tree and wants to talk to it's friends. 
The call of the American Robin is neat as it sings in the tree, watch the tail action. It is a short one.This was my first video to share, I hope you enjoyed it.
nice video FG. That robin song is just a little like our Chaffinch song.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have more robins than we do, but I have seen one and heard a couple more. It is still a little early for them, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had never stopped to look at the white circle around the eye before! Thanks for pointing it out!
Hi Fishing guy sorry I haven't been here in a while.I sure have missed your wonderful pictures I can't wait for Spring so I can see all your critters.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video. Great for a first. I haven't ventured into the video thing yet. You may have just inspired me.
ReplyDeleteWe do that a lot don't we? tee hee
The robins are here in full force now. And I'm loving it and your pics!
My robins are shy so far. I've seen a lot from other places, though. Yours are lovely, and I don't know why the one is different, but it is also good looking.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are still making good progress after your operation. It is amazing how long it takes to recover from surgery..And I just had my first robin Friday...I enjoyed the video clip.. Michelle
ReplyDeleteI'm with you..I love those robins and their songs. We have some major fatty robins this year showing up in our yard..where ever they spent their winter days must have had some good eats!!
ReplyDeleteCute video..a bird tale of a bird's tail!
I like the viseo Tom. They have a great song. That ring around the eye makes them look very distinguished.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos.And a neat video,too.
ReplyDeleteYuppers, the critters are telling us by their migration that spring is on the way. Thankfully! Great captures, as always.
ReplyDeleteOh you captured the robin's eye so well, they are all good but i like that one the best.
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment and well i know its time to let go, but convincing dear hubby is another matter.
Great capture!
ReplyDeleteNice shots Tom! Like you I am checking for every hint of spring I can find. Take care my friend, recuperate, and remember fishing is just around the corner :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a better sign of spring than the Robin.Of course their song is delightfl.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
You got lots of good pictures of the robins...come see mine. They are old photos scanned in...but I think you will enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteRobins are definitely a good sign that spring is almost here. When we got home, we were thrilled to have some crocus in bloom... We'll take pictures I'm sure this week.

Great pictures and very enjoyable video, Fishing Guy.
ReplyDeleteWe noticed several dozen robins on the lawn under the crab apple trees picking up litter left by starlings that decimated the freeze dried fruit. The robins got all the stuff they dropped which was a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think the white frontal area is a sign of old age and is fairly common on most birds in the spring. It might be interesting to see if this one returns. I suspect it will not.
Ha Ha..That's an interesting video you posted. Especially the first half of the video.
ReplyDeleteThe image just before the video has come out nicely.
Very nice video. Isn't it great to see the Robins?
ReplyDeletei'll miss them Sandy
ReplyDeleteAre these the migrating robins or the ones that stay around all winter? I thought they all migrated...live and learn!
ReplyDeleteTrust recovery continues to go well. Nice series. The weather has things moving in VA as well. Blue Skies.
ReplyDeletewelcome back robins!! everyone is always happy to see them
ReplyDeleteAhh, robins. It makes me so happy to see them return!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the robins, Tom.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen any robins around here yet, but it was 61 degrees here, so spring might be around the corner!
ReplyDeleteI love your bird photos.
ReplyDeletePaz
Great shots FG!
ReplyDeleteThe video was a great addition.
An excellent post. The robins are here too now. Thanks for posting the video clip. I especially liked hearing the bird's song.
ReplyDeleteYay for the video, the robins and spring!!
ReplyDeleteGreat posts lately. I like the flowers and birds. These are great, too. I've been looking, just no time to comment. Baseball calls!
