These birds are common but this one
seems to fly up in front of me when I'm in the area. This bird was sitting
on the phone lines across the street from BSB and, as I walked along the berry
trees, it decided to fly into the tree next to me. So I was able to get
some pretty clear pictures.
I have started to notice that there is a Robin that is not afraid of me and flew next to me this evening, April 12, 2005. I had notice that there is one that will let me come pretty close when it is sitting on the fence in BSB.

Around lunchtime June 1, 2006 I decided
to get some new pictures of a Robin. This one decided to
pose for me.

I had been trying to get some shots of young birds
on campus and I finally got some clear pictures of a young Robin. This is
late May 2007 near the Admissions Building.

Coming into work on January 2, 2008 I noticed two
birds across the street from the parking lot. I couldn't get a good look
at them at first but I knew they were something unusual. One of them flew
down out of the tree and onto the curbside grass next to the fence. I got
out my camera and caught some shots of a Robin. It's not an unusual bird
except that they are warmer weather birds. This is the day after the new
year and it is really cold. I continued walking into the second parking
lot and noticed two more birds across the street high up in the large tree. I again got out my camera but these were too far to get clear
pictures. They flew down toward the other parking lot where the first two
were. I followed them and one landed on the fence of the parking lot and I
captured the image above. So, in the dead of winter at about 20 degrees, I
run into four Robins - that is something unusual.
Coming into work on Monday morning March 10, 2008 I saw a
Robin in the far parking lot. The next two days I heard them on campus but
didn't see any. Thursday morning March 13, 2008 I saw Robin in the near
parking lot and was able to get some video with the bird singing.

American Robin
On Wednesday April 9, 2008, as I was
returning from the book store around lunch time, I found these two Robins on the
grassy area next to the Gordon Theater. It gave me an opportunity to note
the differences in coloration between the male (on the left) and the female (on
the right) American Robins.
