Robins have been plentiful this year; the occasional one remaining for the winter. Most fly further south but are among the first birds to return in the spring.
It looks beautiful among the flowers! I heard my first of the fall/winter season Golden-crowned Sparrow out back yesterday. It’s time to get some suet cakes in! It’s seems early but, they’re starting to arrive!

Thank you! Another nice thing about them is that they’re not skittish around people.

I think the first Robins were around the other day. Now that’s just weird !
My whole life seeing a Robin meant Spring was here.
Now, I’m that place Robins go when it’s cold. 😳

I guess it would be. I was surprised to see one a few winters back. A few do stay put.

Always an attractive bird in one’s yard! Remember the old song Rockin’ Robin?

Thanks! I think that was Donny Osmond. His sister Marie is still doing a show here on the Strip. I think. 🤔

Such a jaunty bird, no yard is complete without at least one pair!

Your robin’s cousins – our olive thrushes – are busy collecting grass with which to line their nests 🙂

Thank you, Lynette! I find some of their expressions very funny 😊. The flowers were wild violets.
