Winter is a slow time for birding in Death Valley National Park, so I never expected to come across American Robins! At Scottie's Castle in the north end of the park, there is a small grove of trees. Since most of Death Valley is treeless, this must have proved attractive to a small flock of American...

It has been a cold and snowy couple of weeks here in upstate New York. This weekend the temperatures finally rose high enough for me to go out for a jog. While jogging through The Crossing, a local park in my hometown of Colonie, I noticed a lot of commotion in a few berry trees. When I looked up, I...

I went for ducks and had no luck with that action so I concentrated on the little ones; taken in central Ohio.

Created in Virginia City, Montana. I found some Cedar Waxwings feeding in the chokecherry bushes along the road and amongst them there were some American Robins feeding too. The robins would take a break from scarfing down the fruit while perched on the nearby conifers. D200, f8, ISO 200, 200-400mm VR...

This was taken in Utah, there were quite a few juvenile American Robins feeding on worms or insects in the garden. Nikon D200, f7.1, 1/60, tripod mounted, ISO 320, 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light.

A robin rests in the sun in between searching for worms.

A face only a mother could love. ;-) This photo of an American Robin fledgling was taken at Garret Mountain, West Paterson, New Jersey, with a Sony DSLR A100 and a 70-300mm at 1/125 sec., f/9 at ISO 400.

This photo was taken with a Canon 40D and Canon 100-400 IS lens.

This photo was taken in Lancaster, Ontario, at Cooper Marsh. Camera: Canon PowerShot SX10 IS on auto.

This photo was taken at North Lake in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California. This robin was preening while backlit, allowing for some very nice color in the beak and other parts. This photo was taken with a Canon 7D, 100-400mm IS zoom, 1/1000 sec., f 6.7.

This common bird gets the worm. This photo was imaged in Syracuse, New York.

This is an American Robin fishing heron-style, behaviour-wise this is new to me. The American Robin was plucking a fish out of the water for eating. It actually caught three in the space of five minutes. It also bashed them on the ice quite violently before eating them. It also chased all the other robins...

This American Robin was eating berries at Bisset Park in Radford, Virginia. I thought he showed himself to be quite the contortionist as he was bragging nearby. The camera was a Canon EOS 7D with a 100x400 Canon telephoto lens.

I took this photo by -22°C in a sunny sky. I had my Nikon D90 with a Sigma lens 120-400mm.

This picture was taken in Prospect Park, New York.

I was lucky to find a flock of Cedar Waxwings and American Robins near the hospital where I work one morning. I took several photos of them as they gorged on berries from this bush.

Photo taken in central Ohio, gear used canon 40D, 400mm, f5.6, 1/1600.

Backyard eating leftover crabapples. Saint John, New Brunswick.

We have rosy-headed finches, robins, and an unidentified attack bird who chases our cats away in our trees in the backyard. I got lucky enough to get close to this robin after she got breakfast for her young in Wyoming.

This parent was returning to the nest to feed the young American Robin. The photo was taken from my backyard this past Sunday with a 7D, manual, 1/200 sec. at f/7.1, ISO 200, 500mm f/4, with a fill flash.

Everett WA USA

Taken at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in Olympia, WA early this Spring with a Panasonic DMC-FZ30 35-420mm.

I photographed this American Robin last winter within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park as it fed on berries. It's often said here that they migrate and are a sign of spring upon their return. Although many do migrate, others prove they can sustain and find food in large numbers and can often...

I waited a long time to get this picture taken in my front yard an early spring morning. The camera I used was a Nikon DX, 200mm.
