HelenParticipantEthan, where did you capture the shot of your Robin? As a Brit now living in the US, the European Robin holds a special place in my heart, and always will. Such character and vibrancy from this perfect creature. Common in backyards back 'home', I miss them dearly. Their characteristic bobbing, bold nature, spirit and beauty are something to behold up close and personal. Their song will always be a personal favourite, beaten only by that of the European Blackbird (thrush family). I remember fondly feeding mealworms to my daily visitors throughout nesting season, watched my 13-year-old daughter sit for over an hour until one of my garden regulars settled on her hand to take a live waxworms from her palm, spent many a late spring evening with French doors thrown wide open, and our little Robin friend would fly right into my kitchen, perch on the back of a dining chair and 'ask' for more mealworms when the feeder had been emptied! Fond memories.in reply to: Activities: Exploring Birds #876031

HelenParticipantReally enjoying learning about a whole new selection of songbirds, here in the US. I am British and moved here from the UK in January 2022. I am naturally inquisitive of comparison and look for like-for-like, chickadee to tit, [Eastern] bluebird to blackbird (Eurasian blackbird of the Thrush family). Blue Jay to Eurasian Jay etc. I am also really enjoying the number of woodpeckers i have visiting my feeders, which were a very rare occurrence where i lived in the UK. I am lucky to live in a very forested part of the US and my backyard is surrounded by wooded forest which attract an abundance of wildlife. Apologies for the poor photograph - shot in fading light from the comfort of my armchair on my phone...on a whim! But i love the little Downy!in reply to: Activities: Exploring Birds #876018
