"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Turdus migratorius: American Robin
A set of robins... very common birds that have given me fits this week, especially in weird postures (top right - that one definitely belongs in the "meh" category). The one on the upper left is a baby... just out of the awkward "I'm all quills" phase and just before the "I've grown into my feet" phase. It's my favorite of the bunch.
Crazy.
