This morning I am sharing four American Robin photos taken three days ago close to home. Each one of the robins looks like a borb in the snow.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Robin borb \u2013 Nikon D500, f8, 1\/1000, ISO 640, +1.0 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This particular American Robin looks like the borbiest of all the robins I photographed that morning. In fact, this is the borbiest robin I have ever seen and photographed.<\/p>\n

What is a borb?<\/h2>\n

There are several descriptions for the slang word “borb<\/span><\/a>” on the internet. For me, a bird being a borb means it appears that the bird swallowed a ball. Sometimes that also means it looks like the bird isn’t happy about being a borb.<\/p>\n

The robin above doesn’t appear too thrilled at all about being a borb. The photo made me laugh though when I first viewed it and still continues to make me chuckle.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Robin in borb mode \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/400, ISO 640, +2.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This American Robin in borb mode was walking in the snow looking for buried crabapples. This robin isn’t quite as borby as the one in the first image I shared but it is borby enough that I wanted to share the photo.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Robin head on with a crabapple in its bill \u2013 Nikon D500, f8, 1\/400, ISO 500, +17 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This borby American Robin walked so close to me that I couldn’t fit all of its borbiness into my viewfinder. The photo made me giggle and I felt I had to share it today in this borby bird post. The borby, red-breasted thrush seemed pretty pleased with the crabapple it had in its bill.<\/p>\n

This last American Robin with snow stuck to its bill was another one of the borbs that made me laugh out loud as I scrolled through the images I took three days ago.<\/p>\n

I hope to find more borbs in the snow before spring arrives. My fingers are crossed!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
