Who can resist a Robin?
There is no denying that the American Robin is one beautiful bird, especially when you take a closer look. A group of friends and I stood and admired this handsome male yesterday, 18 March 2013, on a walk from Stanley Park to Erlton St. and back. I would imagine that this might have been one of the handful that overwintered in Calgary? I almost gave up on going yesterday, as all my car doors froze shut overnight. Took 30-40 minutes for the bottle of squirty lock de-icer to finally work, so I was very late getting to the park and finding my friends. Two male and one female Wood Ducks were a treat to see, too. We also saw two wild European Rabbits in someone's backyard. I think that is the second place I've seen them in the city, the other area being near St. Mary's Cemetery.
"The American Robin or North American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European Robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the flycatcher family. The American Robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering south of Canada from Florida to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin. According to some sources, the American Robin ranks behind only the Red-winged Blackbird (and just ahead of the introduced European Starling) as the most abundant, extant land bird in North America."

Only 13 photos from my Flickr Contacts have appeared on my Home Page since late last night. Hoping that it's just a case of everyone being busy and not the Flickr issue that was supposedly "fixed" recently.
