I have a Red Robin family in my yard! I was so excited when I first saw them this spring! They are making their home in a large redwood tree in my front yard, and hop around my garden eating the berries and other little creatures that hop around there!

How fun! I just love to see different birds around here - something besides sparrows! Actually, hummingbirds are the most fascinating of all to me. Such tiny little things and those wings never rest!

If you want more birds to watch, I recommend you have a frequently-replenished birdbath AND turn on a sprinkler with gentle spray near it!

They will come half a dozen at a time, co-existing while playing in it!
I also have a weighted animal feeding bowl on the ground for the neighborhood kitties and squirrels, all this under the shade of a large pecan tree.

We have a large variety of birds, but one of the robins who comes often stands out.
He is much larger than the others, and his favorite thing is to drink from and then hunker down in the LITTLE BOWL (6" square) and bathe endlessly, ignoring the others who pressure him to give them a turn!
It is so funny to watch him - named him 'The Intimidator.'
