I haven’t seen any American robins (Turdus migratorius) for quite a while, though Merlin keeps reminding me they’re still around. This is an image I took a few years ago of one looking straight back at me.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"An American robin stands squarely on a patch of early‑season grass, facing the camera with the kind of direct, unhurried confidence this species carries so naturally. Its body fills the frame, making the bird feel close enough to touch. The robin’s breast is a deep, warm orange—rich and saturated, like the color of a ripe persimmon. That bold chest meets a dark, almost charcoal‑black head, giving the bird a crisp, clean contrast.

Its eyes are bright and alert, set beneath a thin white eye‑ring that reads almost like a subtle highlight. The beak is slender and yellow, pointed slightly downward as if the bird has paused mid‑stride to assess the world. The wings and back are a smooth gray, each feather lying neatly in place, creating a soft gradient from slate to smoke.

The robin’s legs are thin but sturdy, gripping the mixed green‑and‑brown grass beneath it. The ground is textured—some blades upright, others flattened—suggesting a natural, lived‑in patch of earth. The background stays close and simple, keeping all attention on the bird’s posture, color, and presence. A small photographer’s signature rests in the upper corner, marking the image as a deliberate, careful capture of a familiar but striking species.

The overall feeling is one of quiet readiness, as if the robin is about to hop forward, tilt its head, and listen for the faint movement of a worm beneath the soil." - Microsoft Copilot — "An American robin stands squarely on a patch of early‑season grass, facing the camera with the kind of direct, unhurried confidence this species carries so naturally.

Portrait of a female great white pelican. The bird shows white plumage with a very faint pink tinge, a cream-yellow gular pouch and orangey skin on its face. The bill is bluish grey, with reddish maxilla edges. With its large beak it is preening its breast feathers.

Photograph of a ring-billed gull in flight with out of focus bare brown trees and brown vegetation in the background as well as another, out of focus, gull flying in the background in the upper right frame. The gull is in the lower left frame, and the view is from behind. The gull is facing away from the camera with its wings out to the sides with the wing tips pointed up, its tail splayed out and downward, its feet hanging down, and its head tilted down to look down at the water below. The bird's posture indicates that it is likely hovering over a small area in an effort to spot a fish. Ring-billed gulls have white body feathers, grey wing feathers with black feathers on its wing tips, yellow-green eyes surrounded by partially visible red eye tissue, a yellow-orange beak with a black stripe around the beak near its tip, and yellow-orange legs and feet.

#BirdOfTheDay : les reflets #Reflections
Ce sera un grand gravelot et son diner 🪱🪶
#Photography #Nature #CharadriusHiaticula #CommonRingedPlover #CoteDAzur #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography #Birds

Photo au format vertical montrant un grand gravelot en train de pêcher un ver. L'oiseau est pieds dans une eau très peu profonde qui renvoie quasi parfaitement son reflet, et tire le ver hors de la vase avec son bec. L'oiseau est légèrement hors focus, et de petites éclaboussures d'eau volettent autour de lui. Il est éclairé par une douce lumière cuivrée du soleil de fin d'après midi. L'eau a des reflets d'argent autour de lui.
