American Robin


The American Robin is one of the most recognized and common backyard birds. It is found year round nearly everywhere in North America and to many is a sign of spring.

These birds are frequent visitors to my yard and lawn and like to pull up worms after a rain. As common an occurence as they are, it has taken me this long to get a semi-decent picture of one.

Last spring, I had a pair build a nest and raise a brood in my plum tree out front. When the babies fledged, I ended up with one literally on my front door step.
