I run into a lot of serious bird followers at the nature park, and I have actually heard some of them use the phrase “junk birds.” The ones they don’t care about because you see them all the time, you understand. I think this is a very fine shot of a “junk” bird doing what it does best, and I’m glad robins make our days a little more colorful and musical.
