thankyou, Vince. Interesting re the different birds and the various countries. A longtime pal in NZ sent me some place mats with pictures of the NZ birds on, many years ago.

interesting to hear this too, Gary, about not seeing Robins in Arizona where you are. I didn't take a pic of robins before, as thought they were too "everyday"/usual. Now am glad I did take these, since some people don't get to see them very often now

Very nice shot. We saw robins every spring in Colorado, when I was a kid. Here in Arizona, we hardly ever see one. I kind of miss them.

that's interesting, Karen, and thanks also : ) Didn't realize the Robins are not "resident" birds in your area. Here they seem to stay year round, unlike many other places where they return each spring. We had a huge pyracantha years ago, and it was covered with red berries each winter, which the robins feasted on during cold weather.

This is a beautiful shot of a bird we just see as it passes through. Great color.

Hi Janice, thankyou for the nice praise. Should have explained, this was taken from the open front window, looking out onto our patio : ) - was in a rush to upload these before heading out earlier today.

Alandra this is such a realistic photo of a robin. How did you get it to sit still. Do you have a lense where you could stand far away from the robin and take the shot
