The Robins are Back

 

Over the last weekend, I noticed that the robins were back.  They are once again visiting the courtyard area where I live.  So on Monday afternoon, I took my camera down there and sat and watched them.  

They didn't seem as skittish as they had last year.  They hopped around on the ground near me but they kept an eye on me while doing it.


They used to get frightened by the camera but this time they looked right at me when I took a few photos.


I'm glad they are back.  You might remember when I first spotted them a year or so ago, it was a big surprise.  Robins are not native to the desert southwest but they were native to Illinois where I grew up.  It is great to see them once again.  They bring back childhood memories.

  1. Enjoy them, and send them back north in a few months. Wise birds fly south for the winter

  5. I wonder what is on the feet of the robin in the second photo? Pollen? or some kind of disease?
