We had a winter warm-up this week with temperatures exceeding 60 degrees. Most of the snow melted and the birds were loving it. I've seen Mourning Doves basking in the sun....
American Robins have already started their switch from a winter-berry diet to picking out meaty morsels as the surface of the soil begins to thaw.....
...and this Northern Cocky-mocker left its highly guarded berry-bush to head out on ground patrol. We've had a nice taste of spring and the real thing will soon be here!

Beautiful portraits of these feathered friends.
I see Larry an American Robins is not similar an European robin, is he? I think he is bigger and darker than ours.
Nice birding story bro, visit my blog freeasbird.blogspot.com if you pleased :D

Thanks for the comments-Nadezda-The American Robin is a thrush where as the European Robin was thought to be a thrush but is now considered a chat.
