Standing at the open office window, I see the backyard has been overcome with
American Robins
A very recognizable, fairly large songbird with a rust colored chest, long legs and a long tail.
Reports and books say the American Robin is a migratory bird but they visit my feeders year round.
They are the largest North American Thrush.
Female House Finches
Small bodied, adaptable and cheery, the finches are comom from coast to coast.
They are active during the day, feeding mainly on seeds and fruit,
often on the ground or at feeders.
Make House Finch
Males and females are similar with the exception of the males brightly colored red heads.
They are social and gregarious birds that often congregate in large groups as large as 100 birds.

Such beauties. Some robins winter here now. Most migrate and return n April. Great photos, Debbie.
I could use some of those juniper berries in my gin making! Love your pictures as always.

We always get a few robins who stay here all winter but most of ours head south. Visiting you maybe.

Beautiful picks, we see Robins more in the spring around here. we get a lot of birds at our feeders, but I don't know that we get 100's at once, except for maybe when the starlings come through.
Lovely to see your backyard wildlife, Debbie! Great shots of the birds.
