We had a Robin pair nested under our porch's roof last year.
It seems that the male has already returned. Unfortunately we had a snow/ice storm a couple of days ago so we have to provide him with food that he likes. (berries)
A Cooper's Hawk landed in the backyard today but the Robin knows the place and he escaped.
(The Robin on the picture is not our Robin)
Thanks for looking.

This is super, Karl. Wonderful low angle, sweet detail, and excellent eye contact. Hope your pair reunites this Spring. Great image!

Classic image of this bird. Really shows off the red breast. I like the simplicity.

I love Robins and their singing is very nice also. Classic pose for Robin.
