This young Robin sitting on a post illustrates the rounded shape of the bird and its large eye and pointed insect-eating beak, though they are not averse to sampling sunflower hearts and other seeds from the bird feeder. The brown speckled plumage, reminiscent of a young blackbird, but much smaller, is good camouflage.
