Just A Robin ...
My friend and I, when we walk, catch ourselves saying,"it's just a Robin," when ever we see a bird and are excitedly looking to see what it is. Just a Robin because we have Robins everywhere. They seem to be surviving successfully in spite of all of the weather issues. And now, at this time of year we have Robin fledglings and so there are more Robins. This is a wonderful thing and we laugh when we say "Just a Robin" because we both know they are wonderful, sometimes even even comical birds and there will never be too many of them for our liking. So enjoy ...

This story is repeating itself all around us ... The blessings of Nature and the lessons of parenthood.

Very nice. I do like your Robins.
well, i used to see 'just a robin' in wisconsin where i grew up. now in texas, i see them only in passing or if a few stay thru the winter. but i never get to see 'just a robin baby' anymore! :)
When I spotted my first robin I was so excited. Then I started seeing them everywhere (spring time) and said the same as you! I've never seen one, however, with all those spots on the breast. Must be a juvenile? Anyway, lovely photos! Stopping by from WBW.
How cute, I love the spotted fledglings. Wonderful shots of the robins.
love the first shot, the robins are beautiful, and I like that you've also captured a feeding moment.
We rescued a baby hummingbird several years ago and it still comes back to visit
Don't you just love the way their beak just about unhinges when they feed? Beautifully captured.
Thanks for your kind comment. You have six wrens in N.America. Maybe not as colourful as ours, but just as sweet. Have a peek here http://www.birds-of-north-america.net/wrens.html
Beautifully captured Robins! Love that first shot.
I love your robins and such delightful captures for the day! I do so agree - the blessings of Nature and the lessons of parenthood!! Wonderful post, Andrea!!
What great shots! Love the spotted plumage on the young one.
Good to see the young ones.
Many years ago, when I was a kid, I used to see so many Tree Sparrows; just Sparrows. Sadly, now, they are in sharp decline here.
These are great shots of your robins. I love watching the robins here. Have a great day, hugs, Edna B.
Hi there - I don’t think a bird that looks like that is ever going to be "just" a robin.
Thanks for being involved with the new WBW.

I will never get used to how funny it is to see a big feed one its own size! I know, it is that parental thing. Others do it, too...like humans!
Great shots! We don't have any Robins down here, but I loved seeing them when I would visit up north. They are common, but fun to watch.
