Burn, that is sad about the robins. Nature can be brutal. On my list of things to do is get a sparrow trap up and running before I suffer a bluebird tragedy. I didn't used to have any, but now about a half-dozen are on the millet feeder constantly tossing out the seed. Daddy BB chases them every time he sees one.

A Painted Bunting on the cage feeder. I think this is a young male, but could be a female. He seems to have a little more color than the other female I see around the yard.
