Field Notes

Description:

Immature robin, breast feathers growing in. Still downy on head.

Habitat:

Downtown Boston

Notes:

This little robin was sitting on a fence on the busy sidewalk of Beacon Street in downtown Boston, squawking at passers-by. We were able to get him to hop into a little box, and we placed him back with his family in a nest on a balcony on the third floor.

Turdus migratorius Linnaeus 1766

This was from today, May 2011. I've noticed that the robins seem redder this year, if you know what I mean. Not sure why, but they're pretty!

What a great story! So this is this years chick or was the photo from last year? If so your robins are much further along than ours in Maine
