Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - I see an Icy Robin

robin

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor seven twenty five.

Normally, we do our own caption. But the description provided by the photog for this shot outdid himself:

"On a rainy, near-freezing day, this American Robin (Turdus migratorius) and hundreds of its friends stripped several twenty foot tall Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria) trees of their bright red berries in about an hour.

Soon they were all perched in nearby trees with fat bellies, pooping on cars."
