With the 1st sighting in 2018 of a Robin in our yard, albeit at a bird feeder and in the midst of a 10"+ snowstorm, I thought it apropos to post this carving of a male Robin carved by Steve Quiram of Hudson, IL. Steve comes from a long line of Illinois River style of carvers. I believe he really captured the essence and attitude of the bird in this wooden counterfeit.
If one looks closely, you can actually see him hear.
