Robin Residents & Mallard Amour — pat morss

There are winter flocks of Robins eating berries everywhere, and Valentines Day is catching on at Niles Pond.

First, the comparison of a European Robin that joined us at Christmas in Norway.
A few of our American Robins gathering around the water cooler to gossip.
A stretch for a red berry.
A friend in the flock positions itself to make it easier.
Quickly downing one berry after another.
Watching where the Robins land reveals what a bounty of berries we have in the winter.
Love is in the air over at Niles Pond. The Herring Gulls are all a-flutter.
A Mallard displays his dance – brother is not impressed.
This couple has already bonded.
Now we feel like intruders.
