Hello, tweets.

Last summer I had a distinctively marked male American Robin in my yard, with showy white eyerings. I photographed it in March and April and saw it well into the summer, although I don't know if it bred successfully or not. I didn't keep track of when it disappeared, but it was some time in late summer.


But this afternoon I looked out in the front yard and there it was again, presumably a newly arrived migrant back from who knows where! It's really neat when you can recognize an individual bird by one of its own features. That's certainly the major reward of bird banding, individually recognizable birds that give us an insight into their lives.
