I even hand fed one as a teenager until he was big enough and then gave him a home at a bird sanctuary. His left foot was deformed and I think the mamma kicked him out of the nest :/ But all went well and the story had a happy ending :)<br /><br />Have a happy week :)Handmade and off-centeredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938196970441674914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-32161316263135953042013-04-28T00:49:12.811-04:002013-04-28T00:49:12.811-04:00Gorgeous photos Wendy!

I'm sure my neighbours already think I'm a bit off taking photos in my backyard ... what would they think if I stopped and took pictures of silhouettes of bare trees at the park! "Nutters!"

This little guy was only about 10 feet away from me and does he look the least bit worried?! Cody keeps them in check for me, but it confuses him to be told to chase the outdoor bunnies, but not the indoor bunnies. Our robins are very different from yours, and although they're sort of aloof and 'all business' with getting worms and caring for their young, they do have a very pretty song early in the morning. We have some buds coming out now too, so hopefully the plants are a sure sign of warmer days. You have a great week over there too Maria!

I know what you mean about having time to take pictures though, I also have a fairly large camera that I love but is to big to keep in my handbag and I just don't like taking pictures on my phone.

Apparently named by the first pilgrims who were reminded of their British robins when they first arrived in America. But they show no resemblance at all to your cute little robins. These big boys are bigger than a starling. Hope weather turns warmer for you too!

Once I had a hawk fly right towards me, I had the camera with the zoom on ... everything was perfect and I snapped about 10 shots in 1 second. Looked at the camera to review them ... "no card" showed on the screen.

Ours are smaller and sort of rounder. Hope the weather gets a bit warmer for you soon, we've had one or two nice days, but today's cold and grey again.
