Nice shot Maggie - our trees shouldn't be out until the start of May, and it's still a bit brown.Things are still pretty brown and cold around here, but we've got some blue skies (not today though; spring showers here).
Maggie! you've changed you're avatar, one minute you're a cross cat, the next you're a swanky bidet . . . . what ARE we to think!I love those big, fluffy, late-season snowflakes!
HI Scott - I think your Robins are quite different from ours? I guess it's the same for skylarks.In Boston, now, we got a dusting of snow last weekend, but I have seen robins (no skylarks) hopping around the back yard already. Will provide a picture when I meet the next one.

Oh! but what a view! I just wish I had views like that off my back porch! . . . . . actually, it would be a good start to have a back porch.You guys are killing me. I stepped off my back porch about 45 minutes ago and took this. Bah, humbug!
Standards are down all over?Maggie! you've changed you're avatar, one minute you're a cross cat, the next you're a swanky bidet . . . . what ARE we to think!

A little Wikipedia time tells me that the skylark is strictly a European bird, while the American Robin is a thrush. Both nest on the ground, and they don't look all that different, but the male skylark in the right time of the year is given to hovering a few feet off the ground, while singing for minutes at a time. Never saw a robin do that. They mostly hop along the ground, and occasionally pull up a worm. But they do migrate and now they are back.HI Scott - I think your Robins are quite different from ours?

Boston for the year, back to Jerusalem in the Fall. Our commute takes us about 20 hours and at least one lost suitcase. You can tell we're not in Jerusalem by just heading out the front door here and down the block:So, where are you now? Boston or Jerusalem? (I thought we had trouble, one house in Suffolk and another in Cornwall!
... American Robin ... neston the ground
Lovely Sean (why is that guy going swimming wearing a tablecloth?).I thought I had posted this already but, for now, my Spring looks like this. One more week and Spring will look a lot more like snow.
Hi DougThe American Robin nests in trees. The Skylark was introduced in the Vancouver BC area, where a stable population has become established on Vancouver Island and the San Juan Islands.
Here's my contribution to the springtime photos, a Western Bluebird (also a thrush) from sunday morning (DMR, not M8, sorry!):
