Birds The early birds get the worms...

[Brownie]

Or in this case the late birds. These two robins landed right next to each other and plucked worms out almost simultaneously.

Is this an American robin? how big are these? they are tiny here in the uk

 

[Brownie]

Yes. They're one of the larger backyard birds around here, 23 to 28 cm (9.1 to 11.0 in) long with a wingspan ranging from 31 to 41 cm (12 to 16 in). They're migratory, when we see them we know spring is nigh. They are Michigan's state bird.

I like the European Robin, never saw one or knew another type existed until I saw them on photo forums.
