Birds

I posted on Facebook this photo of a robin that I had taken a few years back when I lived in Wakefield and my daughter  Marie told me I should also post it at Wild Bird Wednesday. So, here it is....

And, while I am at it here are some pictures taken quite recently.

                 I've named these two geese who entertain me daily. They are Gladys and George.
                  Can you tell the difference between the male and female Canada Goose? I can't. 

Some ducks that frequent the pond quite often.

  1. The Robin is one of my favorite birds. They don't fly away quickly like the other birds, and they always let me take a picture of them. This one is pretty, Latane.

  2. I am always taken with the size of the American red robin compared to the little sparrow sized redbreast in Europe! Love George and Gladys!
    Please let Marie know that I appreciate all her comments on my blog but as I'm not a google+ user I can't leave comments on her posts.
    Have a lovely week!

  3. I think that it is impossible see the differece between the male and female canada goose. Gladys and George are very handsome couple :)
    Great photos!

  4. Wonderful post, Mom! really love that robin. I messaged Christine about the commenting problem. It's amazing how many people I've "lost" over this....I just hope they keep looking at my posts anyway. Maybe Mary can help me fix it.

  6. Robins are definitely one of my favourite birds.

    I love that you called the geese Gladys and George - don't they look great!

    Who can resist ducks ...

    Lovely post Latane, thank you.

    All the best Jan

  7. I am not sure if I can tell the difference between the male and female Canada Geese, but I have noticed that when they have little ones, one of them moves closer to the chicks (the female?) and the other one (the male?) turns towards whatever it thinks is a threat. Now, the rest of the year, no way!

  8. That's a nice looking robin, Latane. I don't believe there is any physical difference between a male and female Canada geese. According to Grenville they are dimorphic. There may be some differences in colorations.
