There were a lot of robins bobbin’ along while I was in Minnesota.

Through My Lens 
They are beautiful! But they confused me…
I know, the british english word robin means “Rotkehlchen” in german. But your robin is no Rotkehlchen…
I began to search…and found a red capped Robin. Not yours and not mine – it’s a third birdy.
But – ahaa – the “american robin” is biologically no robin but a german “wanderdrossel” (Turdus migratorius). This is the one!
A relative of this very common bird in europe is totally black and is called “amsel” (merle)
I’m learning so much about birds from other bloggers. Thanks for all the wonderful information. I truly appreciate it.
We have an “almost but not quite” robin here that has a longer neck and slightly pointier/different profile – I have heard that when robins look puffy and “fat” that they are dehydrated and actually hungry… thanks for visiting!
I hope it wasn’t hungry and dehydrated. It was pretty cold while I was there so maybe the food sources weren’t readily available. But it warmed up just as I left so maybe now there is more food for them.
Maybe just “puffing up” to attract a mate!
I think it is most unfair how colourful your birds are.
And here I am wishing I was where you are to photograph your beautiful birds. 🙂
Something about greener grass comes to mind.
GREAT!
I love Robins – such harbingers of spring. Beautifully captured.
