i think it's a robin...

...i'm looking at

although i admit it's unlike any other - traditional red robin i am used to seeing here - so now i really am not certain and will have to check - on google later to see what i might find - he was kind of skittish but was willing for - me to take a few snaps of his portrait before skipping off - and if you look closely, you can tell he was also gathering but for what? - clearly this is not the time of year birds are nesting - preparing to lay any eggs, is it? - after playing with this fellow - i then spotted an additional 3 others in - the courtyard hanging out - they all appeared to be pecking at the ground - of course i figured they were going after worms - and wouldn't that make for...

a

happy day.....
