Nice results Bob and it looks like the chicks were glad to see their parents!

It's interesting how different the US Robin appears from the European one - especially the plumage around the head

Well, I doubt there is any relationship but the name, and a particular color. When I first saw American robins, I thought these were small blackbirds with colors.
Just checked on Wikipedia - it is indeed a Turdus, thus related to blackbirds and song thrushes.

Brilliant shots !

Great pictures... :-) I was wondering what happened to the third chick in #1 ? Is he snoring after having eaten that big worm, or was he pushed over by the two left ?
