I just spotted him again and he only has one leg. He is using his wings to balance himself while he forages for worms. He is quite good at it.

Subject: Re: Strange Robin Behavior


I have included a series of pictures of a Robin sunning itself. It is at http://birdcentral.net/sunning.htm Take a look to see if this was the behavior that you saw. I also have a picture of a Steller's Jay doing some sunning: http://birdcentral.net/steller.htm
The necessity of getting sun to as much of the body as possible causes many species to look rather strange at times.
