As Susan pointed out, Mitch's hair has been white for awhile.  But in the "new" photo, it's gray...suggesting it's from awhile back.  To illustrate, here's a photo from 6 February 2025:

Robin's Nest Pre-Storm Upgrade

With severe thunderstorms and winds of 70+mph predicted, I gave the Robin's nest an upgrade, adding wide-ribbon ties around the wreath, and securing it to the trellis behind. Then I added a silk scarf as a "seatbelt" for the nest itself. 

Mama Robin didn't seem to mind at all.
