Robin at the feeder


We put grapes in small mesh bags for orioles and redheaded woodpeckers.

What surprised us robins trying to get at the grapes.

I hadn’t seen a robin at a feeder before but this one kept trying.

I missed getting the summersaults and head stands he was performing.

Now I don’t normally take a camera into the bathroom, however, this is regular thing with Maggie so, now you know the story. Sam, the black cat wants to know what Maggie is doing. Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
