American Robin captured by Z 9 / Z600f4TC
It seems a tad early when the male American Robin arrived over a week ago. But there’s always that one eager beaver. It quickly made itself at home, eating the ripe crabapples berries most of the day. Then a female showed up, and the male got very excited, chummy in fact, and shared some of its berries. Today, I wandered out to find our early male now has THREE females he’s courting in our crabapple. As I was photographing him, I said out loud, “You’re not wasting any time.” He then and gave me the look you see here. I took his look to say, “Spring, dude, it’s around the corner.”
