It was cold yesterday morning, 5 degrees at 6:00 AM. Yet, with the sun shinning brightly in a blue sky we warmed up to about 28 degrees. And, tomorrow we are predicting more snow. Outside my living room window is a small courtyard with a half dozen small trees with berries. I found this robin moving from branch to branch and puffing his feathers to keep warm. It’s not a day to be out and about for this old photographer, so I shot this one through the window. 🙂

Such a pretty little thing sitting among the berries. 🙂

They are a pretty bird and also have a wonderful song to sing. Hope you have a super day!

Robins are tough and hardly ever migrate anymore. Yesterday the wife and I saw 4 bluebirds near the old Champlain Canal here in upstate New York. I read an article the other day and they say that Bluebirds return early from the south to find good nesting boxes.

Cardinals and bluebirds are not seen out in Colorado so I’m enjoying them out here.

What a beautiful Robin. Excellent photo, Monte. I saw a whole group of Robins the other day. They were feeding on something. It’s rare for me to see a Robin around Charlotte, although they are there. I’m more likely to see a whole bunch of cardinals, mockingbirds and bluebirds.
What makes this shot even better is that you didn’t have to go outside and puff up your feathers to get it! 🙂

And, you know that’s true, we do hunch our shoulders when cold. 🙂 Back in Colorado we seldom if ever see a cardinal so they are pretty special to me here in Ohio.
