Winter Robins (2 images)

Central Iowa Countryside



BESIDES FINDING THE WAXWING FLOCK, A NUMBER
OF ROBINS SEEMED TO BE WITH THEM... THEY
WERE BOTH EATING BERRIES AND I SUSPECT THAT THE
WAXWINGS HELPED THE ROBINS FIND THE BERRIES.
IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO FIND ROBINS IN IOWA IN THE
MIDDLE OF A VERY HARD WINTER DURING JANUARY.

THIS ROBIN TOOK A BERRY THEN TOSSED IT INTO HIS
MOUTH TO EAT IT. HE DID THIS MANY TIMES AND IT
WAS COMICAL..

Very nice images Tom. They do like to play catch with the berries don't they?
