An American Robin dressed in his winter coat brings a bit of sunshine to a very grey January day. We usually don’t have quite this level of grey here in Colorado like we had last weekend so I am grateful the sun has returned this week.
May your days be filled with sunshine and may Robins fill your trees.
nature has no boss 
The robins seem to have moved south from here in eastern IA. They’ll start coming back next month. In years past they arrived well before there was a good food supply of worms and such. There is a crabapple tree in the cul-de-sac circle out front. They converged on it and ate all the gooey rotten tiny apples. Their droppings were everywhere and quite colorful. I kept the car in the garage. 🙂

HI Jim I got some of that colorful on my hat last weekend while sitting under the berries in the photo waiting for waxwings to appear.

Not much sunshine here lately in North Texas, but the Robins have filled the trees.

HI Robert, we have had a similar grayness the last few weeks here in normally sunny Colorado. Hope the Robins in your trees have brightened your days.

Alas all the small birds seem to have been driven out of the city here (Sydney Australia). We used to have blue wrens around here, sigh. Thank you for sharing yours.

Thanks, Mike – we still have the larger, tough and territorial birds; just not the smaller ones such as wrens. All good wishes. M

I absolutely love your bird photos! We do have bright blue skies today in Utah, but have seen a lot of grey this winter.
