Phriday Photo – Springy Robins

Written by The Birdfreak Teamon March 4, 2011May 5, 2011

It isn’t spring yet “officially” but we can pretend. And although we’ve been seeing American Robins off-and-on all winter they are much more vocal and active now.

Backyard Baby Robins

Written by The Birdfreak Teamon June 3, 2010June 2, 2010

The New Birder Experience is all about observing and learning about birds. As fun as it is to build up a large list of birds on a hike, I’ve found that it is much more fun for both Stacia and I when we just plain watch birds being birds. Over the last couple of weeks

Birding Ohio – Winter Robins and Lots of Snow

Written by The Birdfreak Teamon February 13, 2010May 3, 2011

Early Spring at the CNP

Written by The Birdfreak Teamon April 3, 2008May 4, 2011

At our backyard birding spot, the Callaway Nature Preserve (CNP), we get a fair amount of birds especially in Spring.

American Robin Bathing to Music

Written by The Birdfreak Teamon January 26, 2007March 30, 2016

This is a backyard American Robin bathing to music. The song is “Dare” by the Gorillaz. We set up this heated bird bath in close proximity to a window where we could observe, photograph, and film birds and other wildlife. American Robins are common in our area as they are in much of the United
