Nice
Our robins probably have an incomplete migration. I suspect our summering robins move further south while the birds that winter here are from a bit further north. Our wintering robins also tend to congregate in large, loose flocks and move to river bottoms, so we don't often see them in winter but they are around.
Aaah...doesn't matter how many times I see these guys...LOVE them!!! Nice shot!
Do Robins stay all winter for you?
wow!
