This little fella doesn't look too perturbed by the snow, and is all fluffed up and healthy. He's an American Robin (Turdus migratorius) - who is actually a thrush - but seems to have got stuck with the robin name due to the likening to those other European fellas with the red chest.

Wow, it almost looks like a painting!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures! He seems to be enjoying the snow.
ReplyDeleteAnd I always thought of them as a spring bird that doesn't stick around for the cold weather. I invite you to come see some boats, floats and mountain goats. - Margy
ReplyDeletePoor little thing, looks really cold out there, but you're right, he doesn't seem to mind too much.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I would not call him a robin. He has a lot more red than our robins. He is beautiful.
ReplyDeletehe actually looks rather comfortable sitting there, just waiting...
ReplyDeletefab capture of the robin in the snow...have a healthy and prosperous 2010
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of this lovely fella. Hope he finds safe harbour in the deep freeze we are headed for.

He looks fat and lovely! He needs to go south now with his other friends!
