User's notes

Only saw female Scarlet Robins. When the thick fog lifted and the sun finally came out mid afternoon the birds appeared on mass and quickly dispersed outward, we just happened to be in the right place at the right time to witness this amazing sight.

Hi RodDeb these are Flame Robins.

They have a different stance when perching and are slightly larger and also more brown.

The slight red on the throat may be a juvenile male.
