My Robin with the Wierd Feather







My robin made his presence known today without having me chase him through the yard.He & his mate have been spending time at the neighbors down the road.He chriped at me in Feb.when I was walking the dogs down the road to show me he was enjoying their holly bushes berries.My holly bush is different,it has small berries.Their small bushes have HUGE berries.Maybe I should prune mine more heavily,but I really believe it is just a different kind of holly bush.
I also was surprised to see a mocking bird.I hurriedly rushed down to fill the water dish after I got these pics of him.
When I was pruning bushes yesterday{the WRONG thing to do when you have 2 compression fractures in your back} I found this huge cup shaped nest.Now I will have to get my book out to see what could have made it.It was tight in the juniper bush.

robin


We have one robin who is easily reconized by a white spot on his wing & he comes to the feeder regularly.I was concerned that he didn`t make it through the winter & wasn`t coming back here this year,but on March 4th there he was.He follows me through the yard & I wonder if he looks forward to being here with us.This year he will notice a new puppy on my heels as our collie ,Max,passed away in Oct.I am sure the robin notices this.
