We’ve had a couple of robins hanging around all winter (judging by their accents, I’m guessing that they were Canadian…) and they’ve probably headed back north across the border to their summer nesting grounds. I’ve been hearing a lot more robins now, and I’m pretty sure that this fine bird is one of our own migrants returning for the summer. It was quite willing to let me get a good shot as it poked around in one of the apple tree in our front field.

Thanks Pete and you bet!
I was listening to a bird show on our local public radio station here in Vermont a few years back, and they were trying to stump the bird expert on the show by playing random bird songs for him to identify. Well they stumped him on one, and the show host said, “well, that’s a robin!”. Turns out it was one of your kind of robins not one of ours (which are in the thrush family)! Everyone had a pretty good laugh!

Thanks Belinda. I trust our overwintering Canadian robins are now back north of the border!
