American Robin Video

A friend sent me this video the other day and I thought I would share it with you.  Even though, in the UK we do not have this bird, I found this video fascinating.  Some of you may have seen it before, however for those that haven't, enjoy it.  This is the link below. Hold control (Ctrl) and click link and the video should appear. 

Please watch to the end as you will be surprised what happens!

  3. The video was pretty neat. So funny watching those baby mouths spring open when an adult lands on the nest. And a little sad to see the adult returning to the empty nest with one last morsel of food and no one there to receive it.

  4. Interesting stuff Margaret, thanks for sharing this video :-) I remember an American Robin once appeared for a few days near my father's factory in Grimsby and twitchers from all around the country appeared en masse to see it !

  5. I love watching the babies grow up! This is an American Robin!!! We have many here. they come back in the spring and fight in our yard to stake out their territory! It is fun to watch them pull worms out of the ground after the rain. They hop around with their head to the ground, then pull up big juicy worms. When spring comes, they fly in , hundreds of them everywhere.
