This one's permanent:



This one's probably temporary. I was at most two feet from this little guy, and he never once tried to fly away. He did move along the fence several times later and was gone by evening, so I'm hoping that means he wasn't sick.

Baaaaaaaby robin! I'm sure he was fine. It just takes a while for flying to become their first response to things. Or second, or third.

Yeah, I went to look up robin behavior after I posted this and discovered that when they're 10-16 days old, they're able to do a little flying, but have not yet been taught to fear humans. I guess I've just never been around a bird quite this young before!
