I have always thought of robins as harbingers of spring, so I was surprised to notice that the robins are still here, even in the snow. Apparently, robins are year round residents in Utah. 
This female is lucky to have a big supply of crabapples to keep her well-fed.
Beautiful - great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove to you.

This is such a lovely capture! Nice focus & timing!

Awwww...I just love robins. What gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting. I didn't think they were snow birds either. We should spot our first one some time in May. I wonder where our birds fly to? Beautiful photography.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs! It looks as though there's plenty of food available for them though I suppose insects might be a bit elusive.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that. We have tons of Robins here but we're a lot warmer than you! There must be enough berries to feast on to keep them warm.
ReplyDeleteI´m jealous, why can´t I snap shots like these. Just adorable :)
ReplyDeleteJanie,
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of Ms. Robin. Looking for spring!
Great photos! I love the first robins of spring.

Great picture. I've noticed a few robins in the middle of winter here.
ReplyDeleteI hope it will be soon. Great shots.

Cute shots of the Robin. They are year round birds here in Md.
ReplyDeleteJanie: They do have some that fight their way through the cold. Neat shot of the robins.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures....she's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy C C is posted below my Photo Hunt Photo. Come see if you have time in your busy day! Happy weekend.

These are such beautiful shots. The white, red berries, branches...and, of course the robins...so nice.
ReplyDeleteLove those robins! And what terrific captures, Janie! Great composition! Love the contrast in colors! Have a great day! Stay warm!

Honestly, I think I love pictures of birds as much as I love pictures of flowers - all the colors and varieties. SOOOO cute ~ ♥
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the robins are really lovely. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've been surprised at the robins we've seen as well. I hope they know something that I don't!
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your title, Janie - I don't think so! That last shot of the robin with the muted background is wonderful (even if it isn't spring yet...).
ReplyDeleteThe red berries make for a perfect composition for the lovely feathered creature!
ReplyDeleteOur robins do go elsewhere and should be returning anytime now. Can hardly wait to see that first sign of spring. :)
Love this photo...hoping for spring to come fast. ^_^

Can't wait for spring! I was just looking at average temps per month and Feb is a good 5 degrees higher than Jan. Temps rising, days getting longer, very exciting! It might even be a little extra exciting because I just drank a cup of coffee... but still very exciting.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE BIRDS. BUT SELDOM HAVE CAPTURED THEM SUCESSFULLY :(
ReplyDeleteNICE CAPTURE WITH PERFECT FOCUS AND TIMING.
THANKS FOR SHARING :)
Interesting, Janie... I think Robin's are everywhere during all seasons. However, we don't see them much during winter here. Lately, since our temps have mellowed, I've seen them more.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Hugs,
Betsy
splendid backdrop
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of Robin's around as well. I thought they left for the coldest months too.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of the birds and the red berries in the midst of winter. Hard to imagine how they manage the cold.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Your robins look much different that our robins in Iowa! Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of this Robin & oh how I wish it was spring! Can't wait for it!
ReplyDeleteThis is very lovely! you captured the bird while eating some fruit trees. mine is here http://www.sheaky.com/2010/01/camera-critters-just-another-bird.html
ReplyDeleteI see Robins here all winter too, but not many. Sure wish it was the sign of spring. I'm ready already.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought they'd still be there in that weather either!
ReplyDeleteMy husband has always wanted to move to Utah. I was just out walking in 78 degree sunny weather yesterday, I think I'll stay here in Florida!
The second pic of the Robin feeding is so cute.. That's a perfectly timed shot.. Nice..

Amazing pictures, love them!
ReplyDeleteTwo very lovely photos of your Robins. The splash of red berries is a wonderful addition. Are they saying, "Roll on Spring" too? :)
ReplyDeleteRobins are tough lil critters, aren't they? Very lovely photos.
