Looks like he's been spray painted
Amazing red. We have nothing like that; our birds tend to have small patches of colour. I can think of only a handful that are bright... kingfisher, yellowhammer, ring necked parakeet and (rare) golden oriole. -
Yes but they're subtle pastel yellow and blue.
Robins seem much more brown compared to those on Christmas cards. They are very cocky and like to watch you gardening, and even inside the house when you're sat doing nothing. Lovely loud songsters. No wonder they our favourite and national bird.

I didn't get a picture, but today we had dinner al fresco at an out-of-the-way lobster place in New Hampshire, and we had a concert from Mr. and Mrs. House Finch on a nearby fence.
Of course I couldn't see a thing because I forgot to take off my computer glasses and put on my regular glasses when I left the house. I didn't realize I had done this and was thinking that suddenly my cataracts had gotten a whole lot worse. Duh.
Here instead are pictures of a different couple from home.

They also like the seeds of evening primrose if you leave the dried flower heads on. But we don't see them regularly like Mik does.

I don’t have bears yet, but they’ve been seen in the county. We have coyotes, but it seems they aren’t true coyotes, but a cross between coyotes and wolves - coy wolves. It makes sense because they are bigger that western coyotes. I see them trotting down the walking trails sometimes.

We went for a hike on the West Circle trail in the Hyde Memorial State Park a couple of miles north of our house in Santa Fe. Back at the ranger station, a group of Flycatchers were doing their thing. At first they were a bit stand-offish, but as they got used to me they came closer. That, plus a 300mm telephoto ...

Sounds about right. Nice shot
