A Robin's Feast: for Ruby Tuesday


I saw an American Robin in our feeder area and going to our garden room to tell of its appearance, the Robin turned the corner of the house and landed in the Mountain Ash tree right in front of us; and I immed- iately thought of Ruby Tuesday as I watched it start to eat the red berries! WOW ... wonderful , oh wonderful!

  9. I haven't seen a robin in months. Do you belong to the PFW e-mail list? There are some very nice people on it..

  10. The red berries are quite ruby, indeed. Although the breast on this robin has more of a deep ruby color instead of the more usual burnt orange. Maybe its the sky?

  18. Wonderful shots. For some reason it reminds me of a year eternities ago when I was in my teens and we had cedar waxwings (rare visitors) who got a touch tipsy on berries from (I think) a "firethorn" bush. Don't know why this beautiful robin shot reminded me of it, but it did.

    These are beautiful! Fantastic photo of the Robin holding the bright red berry in its beak. I'm curious as to how you took the first one - it looks as if the berry is in midair. Are these the berries that the Robins get tipsy on?

  38. april:
    These are Mountain Ash berries in a tree outside my windows. I saw two Robins in the tree and noticed that they were eating the berries. I simply took a burst of pictures whenever I saw them reaching and feeding on the berries. I think the one falling in mid-air was caused when one of the Robins was pulling on one of the berries.

    Glad you enjoyed the photos. I was really pleased when I realized the action that I had caught.

  39. beautiful captures..!

  40. Oh, that is a gorgeous RT! I didnt know Robins ate Mountain Ash berries. I haven't seen Robins in a while, and I assumed they had all flown South.
    Happy RT even though I'm a day late.
