96 Feathered or Feathers
One of the American Robins passing through. They are often with Cedar Waxwings who tend to be a bit shyer. It's always a pleasure to see them although the strawberry farmers prefer they keep their visit very short. They like to taste each strawberry in the fields.

We are beginning to see more and more of these, a sign spring is on it's way!

He blends right into the fence. Very cool!

No robins her yet! I really like the warm tones of the photo, in the robin's breast feathers and the fence behind him.

Nice that it posed so it could complement the fence color, robins are so cheering except maybe in high summer when here they start singing at 4:00 in the morning.

Great shot and background for the colours.

Not quite spring, yet. We still have plenty of robins down here. They go north in the spring, and winter here in Texas.

But I have been seeing plenty of bird-fights as the males of all types vie for the ladies of choice.

My next door neighbor accidentally took out a nest of newborn baby rabbits (with the lawn mower--no more details will be mentioned). Their eyes weren't even open. Two were rescued by the neighbor, and have gone to a rabbit sanctuary for raising. Early sign of spring, both tragic and hopeful.

Another great shot! The light on the fence is so pretty and the robin looks as if he is posing for you....
