American Robins are known to run a few steps, then stop abruptly, both to listen for danger and watch for worm movement in the ground.
Robins usually hop through tall grasses; this robin is hopping through the last of the snow.
Each year, robins build multiple nests, like these from last year, under my deck. Sometimes they choose one as their nesting site. Other years they all remain empty.
Thanks! Honestly, they were such a nice sight to see. They do hang around all Summer. Looking forward to May, when the robins are joined by the catbirds, wrens, sparrows, hummingbirds, and orioles. I will especially appreciate them this year!
Not only the lovely robins but the birds of summer certainly are something to look forward too and cherish.

I love robins, too. They have been singing for a couple of weeks, starting well before sunrise, and chattering until well past sunset.
Wishing you more happy moments with robins and other birds, Julie.

Love the photo of the robin hopping across the snow.
Ha! That was my favorite!😊
Captivating photography and such beautiful and lovely birds, too good.

Welcome 😊
What a cheering presence the robins must be. I hope that they will be nesting with you again this year.
