Saturday Critters ~ 121 ~

Our Robin Red Breasts came back early this year!!
They vacation during the winter and return in Spring.

I took this picture on February 18th, there were hundreds in the trees in my backyard,


and hopping about in the yard!!


That was the first day I saw them and their return seemed a bit early,


now they have settled in and are starting to build their nests.
This robin has a little bit of grass in it's beak.
Now they are here to stay and are a common sight among my other birds.

The return of familiar old feeling.

Nice colourful photos Debbie. I see the robins here but it still cold. -4 °C, 25 °F right now. In fact yesterday I saw a robin eating a wormsicle.

I've always liked robins but have never seen so many in a tree like that!
When I see them it's always just one (or two) as they may come near when in the garden or out walking.

Have a lovely weekend

All the best Jan

Hello Debbie, your Robins shots are adorable. I have never found a robin's nest in my yard. I wish they were here. We did have some snow this morning, I hope it warms up soon. Great post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!

Your robins are stunning, very different to the robin we have here in the UK. Have a wonderful weekend :)

I guess they don't like our humidity :(

This is the first year, I didn't see a single robin. I have wondered about it too.
I think you took such pretty photos of them.

What good photos! We have flocks of them on the golf course in February here in Florida. They are always welcome and a sign of Spring! Hugs, Diane

One of my favorites and they are the state bird in Michigan where I grew up! Enjoy their return and I hope your weekend is beautiful and a lot warmer than ours!

Love these beautiful little robins! We have robins, but ours stay on the ground all the time. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen them in the trees. That is an amazing shot!

i love to hear them here as they pass thru - reminds me of 'home' in wisconsin.

Ruth Hiebert said...

They are always a welcome sight.

How do you rate to get so many robins? Do they migrate up the coast or something?

DeniseinVA said...

Super photos of your Robins Debbie. I have only seen a couple here and there, yet :)

Kim said...

The robins were awfully early here this year as well. I saw my first on Groundhog Day. Lovely images.
