A sign of Spring -The Red Breasted Robin/Turdus Migratorius

At a friends house I also was lucky enough to catch a Robin in her nest sitting on the eggs.

These little beauties, male Red Breasted Robins were in a field in Kerby, Oregon. One of my favorite places to catch the wild birds, the Turkey Vultures, Crows, and others as they are looking for food in these fields and singing their hearts out.

I had wondered why they were here so early as it isn't spring yet and found that many of them just stay all the time here, so that answered that question!

Their technical name is Turdus migratonius, which is a mouthful at least! wikipedia says they are a migratory songbird of the Thrush family. (which I didn't know either)

Here is a link to wikipedia on the whole scoop on Red Breasted Robins ....click

NOTE: many of the slideshows and headings
might not work right now since flash player
has been discontinued. I will endeavor to
reconstruct new ones for this and all my
other websites but it will take awhile.
Please check back at some time in the future.
Thank you for your patience, Kay
