Y'all know I'm NOT a birder. But I'm sort of becoming one. I visited the Arboretum yesterday afternoon, hoping to find spring flowers in bloom (I did). But I also found these! I know they don't compare with Joe's shots, but I'm really excited about getting him/her in flight! (Or maybe I should say in hover.)
OK, it's cropped and sharpened. But is it really a robin? We don't have robins here!

I guess she finally decided that big thing with the camera wouldn't kill her!

I've lived here for 50 years and never saw one here until this year. Thanks for the info.
These are great! The hummer images are better than great!!!
Really good stuff, Kathy! Watch out - it becomes addictive.

You're so right, Mike. I'm following in your footprints, I guess. Thanks.

Thank you, Joe. She was quite obliging.
Great set, Kathy. Welcome to the bird world. Lots of bird brains here on UHH.
