Matt, I had a yearly drift of leaves beside my driveway.I was cleaning that up whwen i saw a robin eying worms i had raked out. Slowly i flipped a worm to a robin...and he took it ! After that time robins would approach whenever i dug earth.Good Memories of fairly tame - acting robins.They remembered from year to year, i think.
As a kid we found a baby robin that fell out of its nest, we ended up raising it, everyday after school i would have to go dig up worms for him, he responded well to the care we gave him and eventually came the day we had to let him go.... OMG did i cry my eyes out...lol... We were all standing around as we brought him outside to finally be free, well Ol' Roscoe didnt want to be free... we kinda backed away from him, he flew right back and landed on my shoulder..... it got to the point were he wanted to spend the day out side and stay the night in the house on his little perch...... this went on for the entire summer....not until it started to get cold did he finally start becoming more wild..... than finally stopped coming around......really a neat experience.....we still talk about him.....
Good to hear your experience, I have a pet robin , he was found wounded as a baby, so he won't survive in the wild, but he is like a well behaved kid, goes everywhere with me and plays with me like a puppy ! He is almost one year old now, I love him to pieces.
What I find lovable is that my mom wrote down the date every year that she saw her first robin.........so I think of that when I see one. RIP to the most special mom I could have ever asked for 💔
Tim Farney so don’t be surprised- if this is how she communicates with you, now that she has passed. She’s still with you, but just in a different form.
My mom loved robins so much..today was her birthday.she passed away in 2017..but i was comforted today when i got home there was dozens of robins in my yard all day.
My grandma was the same way. Every year we would share when we first spotted a robin in the new year. She taught me how to love and watch the natural world around me.
I work as a forklift operator in the yard of a fish processing plant, having been on 12 hour long nightshifts for the last 2 weeks the robin song that I begin hearing at about 5 in the morning is a welcome sound telling me the shift is almost over😊
They really do start singing early, don't they? In my neighborhood they start as early as 4:00 (sometimes even at 3:30 in late Spring), likely triggered the bright city lights where I live... The early bird gets the worm, I suppose!
I am retired now. But when I worked, a sweet robin couple nested just outside my apartment. Every morning the male would stop what he was doing, sing a little greeting to me and go on about his work. What a perfect way to greet a springtime morning! ❤️
i had a wonderful wife, who used to chatter away when she was happy, making all sorts of rhetorical conversation, and always reminded me of the robins in the morning, and always making me smile. I never told her why I was smiling - I was afraid she might stop.
I love watching robins hop through the yard searching for worms immediately after I mow the lawn. They look so busy & happy, and love hearing them sing!
I had a robin follow behind me when as I mowed the lawn a few years ago. I assume he was able to eat bugs easier in the shorter grass. It was the coolest thing ever and i'll never forget it . :D
I’ve talked to a little baby Robin to ask if I could take his picture . He was walking on the ground. He come running over with his mouth wide open and squawked at me for food. He thought since I was talking to me I was his momma. His mom came down and pretended to feed him and looked at me like she was thinking he was crazy. Ha ha. He flew to a branch with his momma then. So cute. People around just laughed.
Robins tend to be incredibly inquisitive about human behavior. I will often see them perch on nearby fences, on the ground, or on branches and just watch me while I'm outside, curious to see what I'm doing. They of course fly away like any bird if approached but tend to take a much stronger interest in people than other birds.
Agreed. Thats what i was thinking too. A couple days even i was whistling at one .. like ive done for years so thatsnothing new .. .. but i noticed it turned on its post and really looked and checked me out. . more than birds usually would have.
I once while taking a break from gardening, sitting in my lawn chair, I tossed a worm in front of a robin. He gobbled it up on the spot. I swear for weeks after that a robin was following me around in my garden.😎
If you do enough hiking from time to time... About every 5 years or so, sometimes you can find a baby that didn't quite get it right when it fell out of the nest. If you can catch them *WITHOUT* injuring them, get him in you cupped hands and bend down and throw them as high as you can back into the sky. I have saved more robins than not. If after two times they just don't get it leave them alone. They're extremely cute birds. I love robins!
Yup. They will keep hanging around waiting for a handout. And others will come too. Doing some gardening I like to toss a worm or two to a robin. Pretty sure they appreciate the gesture!
Had that happen to me too! They are smart and like raisins in early spring when worms are harder to find. After feeding them raisins the minute they spotted me...they would be after me. So cute.
I say to people who give me grief for bird watching, "birds make me happy" all the time. I ordered a shirt, because, yes. Thank you very much for all you do.
I have cancer but still work. I’ve spent my whole life around birds because I land survey now when I have to rest these shorts clips bring peace to my heart.
Kiuss Kiuss I’m doing well for 7 years I have had the same cancer Steve Jobs died of. I went to Europe give times for treatment and somehow am still alive. I’ve seen many die though. Blessed be the Lord and all he brings us this warm June day.
My mom and I have continued a tradition of telling each other the first Robin we see in spring. We've had robins nest many times in our yard. Last summer we had two nests in my yard. My children were delighted to watch the robins grow up and find worms in the yard.
I have a family of robins in my front porch awning right now. 4 huge babies in one nest. It's been so delightful watching them. I'll miss them when they fly soon
Wondered why they watch me mow the lawn, realized the vibration of the machine is bringing worms up... Easy meal... So adorable, friendly, and especially smart! 🐛
Love Robins, they're beautiful and they sing such lovely songs. I love watching them. Nature and wildlife is something I treasure more than anything material.
I have one chubby male who visits every day. I live in a 4th floor apt. and was startled to see a robin on my patio, but he visits my feeding station throughout the day. He likes the dried mealworms (of course) but really goes for the peanut suet nuggets. He's a very large robin, gorgeous deep red breast, but no mate yet.
Liked Robin's since I was a kid and my mom would read Dr. Suess "Are You My Mother?" Plus memories of them following my grandfather around in the garden.
Mine, as well. I absolutely adore their run, stop, run, top. I can mimic them to a T. They are wonderful parents. And, baby robins are so darn cute with their freckled chests. I can always tell which is the dad. He's the one with the black head, while mom has a more grayish head. When a robin tilts its head, it is not listening for worms. Rather, they are looking for them.
I do love them for bringing spring along. Over the years, with our trees maturing, we see more and more types of birds in the neighborhood, but Robins still seem to be the ones bringing along the spring. Plus, they have such a proud stance as they walk in the grass, and how they look at you for a moment, makes me smile every time.
Where I live, Robins get no respect compared to the warblers and nuthatches on the feeder. But I like Robins because they work so hard and don't expect to be fed!
Yeah, what's up with those socialist warblers and nuthatches! Those Marxist / Communist feeders need to pull themselves up by their boot-straps and be like the robins! Yeah! Robins even wear the color of your political party! Yeah!
Robins have to be one of my top favorite birds. They are all around beautiful. I just had 5 just drop down looking for food near my garden. Reason to learn more about them.
Cute lil potbelly. I once raised a nestling Robin who fell very far from his nest to the ground after a storm. Luckily his injuries weren't critical, but there was no way to return him to the nest. Leaving him on the ground was not an option due to neighborhood cats. He was successfully raised and rehabilitated back into the suburbs and often came back to my balcony for treats❤ My only regret was hand rearing him and possibly making him a little too friendly of a Robin for most other people. I think he did okay though.
And not a word about the beautiful bright blue eggs that even have a colour named after it? How dare you? Now THAT is how I know that it is Spring! When I see those cute little eggies, that once cradled a tiny, naked little baby, on a sidewalk or in the grass! Nature is awesome! Thank You for the sweet video!
I've always loved Robins. I have a pair that have made a nest above the downspout, and they are currently raising their second brood. I have been feeding them meal worms by launching them through a plastic straw across the lawn. I make sure to make a little sound with my mouth so that they associate that with the worms I'm about to feed them. I've been doing this for about a week now, and over time they have developed an incredible amount of trust with me. So much so, that if I sit outside on the patio, they will hop over to me and just sit there in the grass waiting. Today was a new milestone, as the female actually landed on the table that I was sitting at. She was only 3ft away when she grabbed the worms. Next I'm hoping to hand feed them like you do. Boy would that make my year. Thanks for the great videos, I've learned so much from them.
I love that they are bold! They don't care that I am doing my things in the garden and sometimes they approach very closely! If you come out in the garden suddenly they will not just fly away. They will watch you and decide if they have to leave or if they can stay. Sometimes they even just walk away a bit, instead of flying away!
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, Lesley. I've been around robins my whole life, and it is good to remember how special they are. That's what your videos do for me. They help me remember to appreciate the birds I see, and they show me new ways of appreciating them.
My daughter really enjoyed this video. She really loves birds, including robins. Personally, one of my favorite things about them is their song. They really do sound quite nice.
I get so excited when I see my first robin it’s a tradition with me and my 86 yr old mother I call her or she calls me when we see our first robin of the season I wish I would have kept a record of the dates because we have been doing this for at least 14 yrs love my birds.
Living in Florida after 50 years in Michigan, I REALLY miss the robin's song. It's exciting to watch them stop here on their way "home," but we miss that lilting, spring melody. Thank you, Lesley. Very enjoyable video!
I think when they say, "the early bird gets the worm," they are talking about robins. They always seem to be the first ones I hear in the morning. Their egg color is pretty special, too. Love them!
When I was about six years old we had the privilege of having a Robin build her nest on the windowsill of one of the bedrooms of our house. There was a sheer curtain between us and the glass of the window so mom did not see us staring at the process of laying eggs and raising her young. It was a wonderful experience for me as I have always been in love with nature.
Love them! Have a nest on my porch light and Robins returned for the second spring. They raised two separate broods, 6 babies in all, it was awesome to watch them grow and see them up close throughout the summer! Looking forward to next spring and hope they come back!❤️
You got it exactly right. Such endearing neighbors. I like it when I see one pulling on a worm that has one end stuck in the ground, just like in a cartoon. They always make me smile hopping around the yard working for a meal.
My favorite bird! I love it when a round of robins (sometimes a dozen) sweeps into our show-covered back yard in the winter. They get tipsy from eating red berries on our pyracantha bushes. Thanks for this lovely video.
They are the sound of summer to me. We raised a baby robin and knew he/she would fly away eventually. Georgie flew away in autumn but is forever in my heart. ❤️
I love the way a robin races across the grass, stops, tilt his/her head to listen, then promptly dive and pull up a worm. I can imagine Hanna-Barbera cartoon sound effects as he/she does so (sound of a rubber band being pulled sound, then "snap!")
When I was a kid I always looked out for robins in spring because I knew that meant I would be playing more outside soon with spring coming. They are beautiful with their red bellies.
I raised a baby that fell out of the nest with my then 5yr old daughter....what a hoot and when we freed her, she'd come back and see us.......too wonderful.
I have loved Robins since I was a little girl. I’m now 72. I fondly recall drawing and coloring one with it’s beautiful blue eggs when I was in the second grade while we were studying our local birds. I love the egg color so much, I chose a very similar shade of the color for my bridesmaids’ dresses in 1968. Twelve years later, I named my younger daughter Robin. I look forward to each spring seeing them in my front yard digging for worms, and in the late afternoons, sitting on my back screened porch listening to their beautiful songs. Thanks so much for the video! Hugs from Gloria 💗
I love their blue eggs! You're right, I first saw a robin's nest as a child, and the experience was exciting. The male territorial fights are impressive too.
I agree!!! The Gospel of Jesus Christ Today is the day of Salvation: Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could ever make in their lives concerning eternal life? If you die today are you going to heaven? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The apostle Paul tells us what the gospel is: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Gospel means "good news." Your debt has been paid, the death penalty has been paid, you are free. Here's the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Jesus brought in a little child as a living object lesson to show who enters the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 - Jesus said: "Unless you become like this little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as ABC: A - Admit that you are a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:23 -For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven). Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. B - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. C - Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." Don't wait until later - do this now. Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." "O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life. I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood as sufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen." S a l v a t i o n
Even after 50 years, sighting the first Robin in spring still thrills me. The same with butterflies, fireflies and ladybugs...although we don't see many butterflies or ladybugs anymore 😔
I don’t understand how anyone can tap the thumbs down on these cute little videos. Thank you Lesley for your efforts to bring new perspectives into rookie bird watcher like me. I am going to see the robins in my backyard with a new fascination now.
I feel the same but my hubby thinks I’m a little obsessive...what could be better than the panoramic view you have each and every day watching these magnificent little creatures and their antics? 😍
My husband and I put out a big cement birdbath this year, the robins can't get enough of it! I have counted up to 12 birds hanging around the ground and 3 at a time in the water, flicking and playing. And yeah they love to stay out after dark too lol, I just love watching them ❤

What a cool story. You are so lucky to have that little guy stick around.
That’s lovely!
Great story. He was lucky to have had you.

Every time I see or hear a Robin singing, I can't help but smile. They're just so lovable!
I had one singing right outside my window yesterday morning. He sang from about an hour before sun rise to about an hour after sunrise.
Savvi P my favorite.
Mick Dundee I know! I heard one singing at 2 am while I was trying to sleep
Idk I feel as no bird beats the mourning dove those are my favorite

Run Run Run STOP
Run Run Run STOP
Run Run Run STOP
Run Run Run STOP
Run Run Run STOP
Very true
Runx3, Stop, turn head, stop head , pause do it again, GRAB WORM, REPEAT! or watch me turn compost pile! They folliw me when I put compost on garden !

@@Grizzleback07 That too!
I love how Robins hop and bounce around. Also how they stop and tilt their head to listen (i assume) for a worm.
Technically, they bob, bob, bob.
@@JiveDadson thats even cuter lol thank you. We had 3 nests in the yard this year. And they oddly followed our duck flock around very closely.

What better style for bob bob bobbing than swing bebop? Maestro? ua-cam.com/video/ttAaOZo2-8M/v-deo.html l
I believe they tilt their head to see better at certain things (because of how their vision is divided by the shape of their head

Prayers? Really? 😂

Robins have been nesting on my window the last 2 yrs and i have fallen in love with them. They are so precious and beautiful and amazing creatures!
One thing I love about Robins is that they look me in the eye with the same curiosity as I have in mine.
This is one reason I love them so much. More than any other bird. They are so innocent and guileless and adorable.

Cute lil potbelly. I once raised a nestling Robin who fell very far from his nest to the ground after a storm. Luckily his injuries weren't critical, but there was no way to return him to the nest. Leaving him on the ground was not an option due to neighborhood cats. He was successfully raised and rehabilitated back into the suburbs and often came back to my balcony for treats❤
My only regret was hand rearing him and possibly making him a little too friendly of a Robin for most other people. I think he did okay though.
I love Robins too. They are certainly one of my signs the first signs of spring. Beautiful birds with a wonderful Spring songs
Awesome 🐦 birds.
I love to watch Robins play in garden 😍 😀 😊
I can never have enough robins in my backyard. I love watching them scoot by as they search for worms and their song is, indeed, music to my ears.
You are correct- living in the north they are definitely a sign of Spring. Love listening to the robins sing.
Love hearing them in the early morning after an evening of light ground soaking rain. It's like they're happy to be ready to hit the worm smorgasbord.
And not a word about the beautiful bright blue eggs that even have a colour named after it? How dare you? Now THAT is how I know that it is Spring! When I see those cute little eggies, that once cradled a tiny, naked little baby, on a sidewalk or in the grass! Nature is awesome! Thank You for the sweet video!
I love watching them run, they always make me smile. My favorite bird
I've always loved Robins. I have a pair that have made a nest above the downspout, and they are currently raising their second brood. I have been feeding them meal worms by launching them through a plastic straw across the lawn. I make sure to make a little sound with my mouth so that they associate that with the worms I'm about to feed them. I've been doing this for about a week now, and over time they have developed an incredible amount of trust with me. So much so, that if I sit outside on the patio, they will hop over to me and just sit there in the grass waiting. Today was a new milestone, as the female actually landed on the table that I was sitting at. She was only 3ft away when she grabbed the worms. Next I'm hoping to hand feed them like you do. Boy would that make my year. Thanks for the great videos, I've learned so much from them.
Love Love Love, to hear them sing!
So Beautiful!
I love that they are bold! They don't care that I am doing my things in the garden and sometimes they approach very closely! If you come out in the garden suddenly they will not just fly away. They will watch you and decide if they have to leave or if they can stay. Sometimes they even just walk away a bit, instead of flying away!
Thank you Leslie! The American Robin is my absolute favorite bird on the planet!😇
Just love robins and their beautiful songs, sounds like spring.
This spring in Alaska, the robins have been absolutely awesome. Their songs hit me right at the heart.
Robins!! They are so cute - I love seeing them hopping around in the yard. A mom made her nest in the lilac book near me and we feel so blessed
I love how their nests include stuff from my hgousehold. Like a ribbon, dog hair, twine from the garden.
The American Robin is my alarm clock every summer morning and I love it!
My late mother loved them because she said they were friendly and NEVER mean. They don't fight with other birds. They are nice.
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, Lesley. I've been around robins my whole life, and it is good to remember how special they are. That's what your videos do for me. They help me remember to appreciate the birds I see, and they show me new ways of appreciating them.
My daughter really enjoyed this video. She really loves birds, including robins. Personally, one of my favorite things about them is their song. They really do sound quite nice.
I agree. Robins are my favorite. Beautiful singers.
I live in Florida and my back yard has been full of robins for the last week. I always look forward to seeing them. I love to just watch the birds.
I get so excited when I see my first robin it’s a tradition with me and my 86 yr old mother I call her or she calls me when we see our first robin of the season I wish I would have kept a record of the dates because we have been doing this for at least 14 yrs love my birds.
Every morning in our apartment complex's courtyard there is robin drama. It's great entertainment.
Living in Florida after 50 years in Michigan, I REALLY miss the robin's song. It's exciting to watch them stop here on their way "home," but we miss that lilting, spring melody. Thank you, Lesley. Very enjoyable video!
In the mid to late 70's I remember seeing robins in Southwest Fl (Ft Myers) which is where I grew up. But now I don't see them and haven't for years.😢
@@zacharypeacock6278 They seem to fly through faster and maybe in less numbers each spring...hope that's only my observation, and not true.
Robins are happy and peaceful. Glad they nest in our trees. Love mountain ash berries.
I think when they say, "the early bird gets the worm," they are talking about robins. They always seem to be the first ones I hear in the morning. Their egg color is pretty special, too. Love them!
That is why my nickname for a Robin is the Starter bird. They are 1st up singing and start the birds singing in the morning.
When I was about six years old we had the privilege of having a Robin build her nest on the windowsill of one of the bedrooms of our house. There was a sheer curtain between us and the glass of the window so mom did not see us staring at the process of laying eggs and raising her young. It was a wonderful experience for me as I have always been in love with nature.
Love them! Have a nest on my porch light and Robins returned for the second spring. They raised two separate broods, 6 babies in all, it was awesome to watch them grow and see them up close throughout the summer! Looking forward to next spring and hope they come back!❤️
I love robins because they are so round and chubby looking. They also have such a beautiful chirp!
Gods beautiful creation made to bring us joy and hope 😍❤️🌸🦋
Amen and Amen.
PRAISE THE LORD!
*Allah’s beautiful creation
You got it exactly right. Such endearing neighbors. I like it when I see one pulling on a worm that has one end stuck in the ground, just like in a cartoon. They always make me smile hopping around the yard working for a meal.
I love how they are the first bird that you hear in the morning, even before the sun comes up!
You described the Robin to a tee. When they appear in late Feb. March ect. It brings a smile to my heart Spring is on it's way. Rocking Robin. Shalom
My favorite bird! I love it when a round of robins (sometimes a dozen) sweeps into our show-covered back yard in the winter. They get tipsy from eating red berries on our pyracantha bushes. Thanks for this lovely video.
I Do See Robin's In A Slightly Warmer Winter All Year Round I'm Thankful For That. 😊
They are the sound of summer to me. We raised a baby robin and knew he/she would fly away eventually. Georgie flew away in autumn but is forever in my heart. ❤️
I love the way a robin races across the grass, stops, tilt his/her head to listen, then promptly dive and pull up a worm. I can imagine Hanna-Barbera cartoon sound effects as he/she does so (sound of a rubber band being pulled sound, then "snap!")
Robins look like little penguins with sunburned bellies! They're so neat!
I don’t have anything to add but how remarkable your love for birds is. That purity rings true & is quite beautiful.
Consequently, “Red, pot-bellied-earthworm-muncher” is my wife’s pet name for me.
Yuck! I hope it's not TOTALLY accurate. ;)
That cheery song wakes me up, about 4:30, every morning! Love robins!
I have fond childhood memories that include Robins singing in the background of my life. Love 'em.
Robins here are loved to see when a cold winter is ready to be over.
When I was a kid I always looked out for robins in spring because I knew that meant I would be playing more outside soon with spring coming. They are beautiful with their red bellies.
I raised a baby that fell out of the nest with my then 5yr old daughter....what a hoot and when we freed her, she'd come back and see us.......too wonderful.
I love watching the Robins. They watch me gardening and digging because they know I may be digging up their favorite earthworms
I have loved Robins since I was a little girl. I’m now 72. I fondly recall drawing and coloring one with it’s beautiful blue eggs when I was in the second grade while we were studying our local birds. I love the egg color so much, I chose a very similar shade of the color for my bridesmaids’ dresses in 1968. Twelve years later, I named my younger daughter Robin. I look forward to each spring seeing them in my front yard digging for worms, and in the late afternoons, sitting on my back screened porch listening to their beautiful songs. Thanks so much for the video! Hugs from Gloria 💗
I love their blue eggs! You're right, I first saw a robin's nest as a child, and the experience was exciting. The male territorial fights are impressive too.
I love to watch them in the bird bath. They appear to thoroughly enjoying themselves. They can turn a clean bath muddy in s matter if minutes.
The sign of spring that’s why it’s my favorite bird!!
I saw two Robins in the bird bath today, they were so cute ruffling their feathers together in the water.
Nice documentary. These beautiful birds and their song are the messenger for spring :)
Awe. Just found your channel. And birds DO make me happy. My heaven will be with tons of various cute birds.
YOUR LOVELY VOICE, NARRATION AND BIRDS GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE. YOUR A JOY.

@@mariag8806 PETTY!!!
@@mariag8806 No, You are WRONG IN THIS CASE! Your is correct.
I agree!!!
The Gospel of Jesus Christ Today is the day of Salvation: Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could ever make in their lives concerning eternal life? If you die today are you going to heaven? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The apostle Paul tells us what the gospel is: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Gospel means "good news." Your debt has been paid, the death penalty has been paid, you are free. Here's the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Jesus brought in a little child as a living object lesson to show who enters the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 - Jesus said: "Unless you become like this little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as ABC: A - Admit that you are a sinner. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:23 -For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven). Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news. But here's the good news: The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
B - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. C - Call upon the name of the Lord. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Romans 14:11 - For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God." Don't wait until later - do this now. Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." "O God, I am a sinner. I'm sorry for my sin. I want to turn from my sin. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life. I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood as sufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen."

#6 They like to bath. They bath frequently, and make a big production of it. Glad I invested in a birdbath.
Even after 50 years, sighting the first Robin in spring still thrills me. The same with butterflies, fireflies and ladybugs...although we don't see many butterflies or ladybugs anymore 😔
I don’t understand how anyone can tap the thumbs down on these cute little videos. Thank you Lesley for your efforts to bring new perspectives into rookie bird watcher like me. I am going to see the robins in my backyard with a new fascination now.
Nice longer scenes to get a better glimpse into wildlife behavior.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Hearing their singing makes me happy !
All my fellow bird lovers watching this - I love you. Bird people are the best! 🐦❤
I feel the same but my hubby thinks I’m a little obsessive...what could be better than the panoramic view you have each and every day watching these magnificent little creatures and their antics? 😍
I love their blue eggs! Thank you, great video🌻
My husband and I put out a big cement birdbath this year, the robins can't get enough of it! I have counted up to 12 birds hanging around the ground and 3 at a time in the water, flicking and playing. And yeah they love to stay out after dark too lol, I just love watching them ❤
4 Days left to grab a "Birds Make Me Happy Shirt." Thanks for your support
LesleytheBirdNerd I already ordered one! :-)
Robins are my favorite bird species.
Fabulous video of our amazing friends! I am off to check out your shirts! Sweet!
