There were a bunch of these hopping around on a lawn yesterday pulling worms out of holes. I love the eye decoration. He seemed to know I was there, hopped around, posing…I’ve started focussing manually instead of relying on autofocus. Takes longer, but pics are sharper.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the

Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:

Looks to be a robin. Lots and lots of them here in good ole North Carolina, even though the cardinal is our state bird.
Looks to be an American Robin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Robin which is a member of the Thrush family.

Thats an American Robin, very common here in Utah, is this the first time you've seen them in your area?
I can't wait to start seeing robins hopping around on the lawn here in North Dakota. It would mean that this long winter is finally over.
