Look closely at the feet of this American Robin. It was standing on snow with air temp. approximately 10 degrees F., when I snapped the shot yesterday. Those feet look good and health, not frozen. Now, go back up to the Robin photo Debnes_dfw_tx took in the Texas heat. The feet on the bird in her photo look diseased or dry and dehydrated. Welcome you thoughts and comments. Maybe these birds had a reason not to migrate south for the winter.

How does the size of the Robins in the pictures Wallaby posts compare to the American Robin. As best I can judge from the background in his shots, they must be considerably smaller.
