Friday Feathers
The American Robin can be heard singing all night long in the springtime. The male is a familiar gray bird with a rusty red breast, nearly black head and tail. It has a white chin with black streaks and a white eye-ring. The female is similar but with a gray head and duller breast.
Their eyes are placed far back on the sides of its head. This particular bird is often seen fighting its own reflection in windows.

Terrific photo - I can never catch the little blighters, they always move just as I press the trigger on the camera!
And a very belated Happy Birthday!

Pat - thanks! Photographing birds can indeed induce heaps of frustration; I've deleted lots of photos that contain the bird feeder, tree branch, ground, etc. but no bird. :-)
Joost - yes, it was!
