Craig1 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Is there some kind of animosity towards the American Robin, in the birding world.? Well this little guy discovered the bird bath. One of the two that has survived, the other one was eaten by the neighbors cat. Definitely an American Robin.https://imgur.com/a/bqxNwoM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people who have them in their yard all spring, summer and fall get sick of them. Especially when they start singing at 4;50 AM! (I would know as i've heard them that early before. @Aveschapines can you maybe move this to the discussion section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I like 'em, myself. Occasionally I have to walk the dog before the sun comes up. Robins are often the only birds active. I think @MerMaeve nailed it. When some people see the same species on a frequent basis, they take those birds for granted. House Finches are the largest demographic (ornographic?) at my feeders, and I affectionately refer to them as 'trailer trash'. (Yeah, I know, not PC. Some of my best parents live in trailers. ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
