It's true though- the only animal I would like to be.
Beauty, speed, companionship, and their diets aren't too gross.

Beautiful shot!
I have a question too. How many times a year does a Robin hatch eggs? The one who built a nest by our baywindow has hatched two sets of eggs now. She hatched the first set back in May, now there are more little ones up there.

Hi Tony,Thank you!
They on average will have 2 nestings, but in the warmer climate zones they can have 3.

Hi Kylie,Thank you! I got a couple more like this and I got one were the youngster got so excited that it fell off the wire, and tumbled down a few feet before regaining composure and started flying back up to the wire.
