"Backyard Birds I (Click to embiggen)"
Raleigh, NC - February 2009
If I had to guess, I'd say this was a robin. But being not so well versed in things birdly, I wouldn't swear to it. I just know there were a bunch of these guys hanging around my back yard one sunny afternoon in late-February making all manner of noise. Usually once I bring the camera out, they scatter to the four winds, but some of them hung around on this day so I could get some mug shots of them.
Stumble This!

That sure is a Robin and its stands out beautifully against the cool blue skies. Nice shot
What a beautiful catch!
They tend to fly away for me too as soon as I point the camera at them.
If I don't have it with me they just stay where they are and watch me go by very close.
Silly birds ;)
we saw a nest in my sister's cactus! and there are three bird chicks in it1 :)
Your robin seems to be singing in 'full throated ease!' :)
So cute! It really looks as if it's singing a merry tune!
mug shots? nooooo. that's a lovely shot with that blue blue blue background!
That's a prize winning shot! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
As others before have confirmed, it is indeed a robin and a male .. you can tell by the bright red of his breast .. females are far less colorful .. in the aviary world
Oh yeah! That's a robin alright! :) He's yelling at you!
Neither would I - just applaud it. And thanks for all the comments! ;-)
A beautiful robin for sure and the blue sky is awesome. Loved your photo.
Hugs...Jeanne
