Because I grew up in a cave

I'm a little embarrassed; I'd never actually seen one of these in real life until this guy showed up in my yard.

Turdus migratorius

Robins are HUGE! And yet he got scared away from the birdbath by a teeny tiny bird (I'm terrible at identifying birds so whatever scared it away still gets IDed as a "cute brown bird."). Silly robin. I love having birdbaths; now I just need David Attenborough to show up and narrate.

    I still can't believe it.

    I know--it's ridiculous! Greg was like, "And you're excited about this WHY?" This is a perfect example of my myopia. I only see things that I'm interested in and I never much cared about birds until this year. Just wait until I post pictures of the super-elusive crows I saw last week!

    What? I can't believe it. We have them everywhere here, they are our state bird, and they have been my favorite bird ever since I was a kid understandably.

    I know! Everyone has been making fun of me. My boss thinks it's hysterical that I've never seen one before.

    Robins are the most entertaining bathers since Degas. Enjoy!
