Everybody knows the American Robin, one of the most common birds around. This one is a particularly good hunter, he has an earthworm in his beak and also a green inchworm. He must be a really good provider. high-res

American Robins are the first indicator of spring, the lawn is usually full of them. Most Robins fly south when cold weather begins, but a few remain right here in Fort Edward all winter. high-res

May 17th 2017 - A pair of American Robins now have 2 chicks in the nest, and are bringing a steady stream of yummy bugs, caterpillars and worms for their babies who are always hungry and begging. high-res

The parents are allowing me to come close without complaint, but I got the feeling that if I got any closer, they might attack. high-res

And just a week or so later, the two babies were fledged and flying and independent! high-res |
