Last week a few robins were in my backyard. Perhaps checking it out for a nesting site or stopping by on the way back north. Either way it was a welcome site after a nasty winter. Yesterday I spotted about eight robins poking around in the leaves when I went for a walk at a [...]

I Seem To Be A Baby Bird Magnet
Posted in Birds, tagged birds, robins on July 3, 2010 | Comments Off
Lately I seem to be a magnet for baby birds. I go outside to pull some weeds and tidy up the yard for my July 4th picnic tomorrow and next thing I know a fledgling robin is cheep cheep cheeping in front of me. So, I ran and grabbed my camera of course. The lighting [...]
