More about the robins

Well, the robins took over the whole neighborhood today.  I have probably seen more robins just today than I have ever seen in my entire life.  So of course I took more photos.

Then I watched the evening news.  More robins!  They're all over.  And I found out the reason.  Although it isn't very spring-like here, to the north it's much worse.  So the robins have stopped their migration right here and are waiting for conditions to improve up north before they move on.  This leaves me wondering how they know that it is worse up north?  Do they have scouts, cell phones, super-sonic morse code?  It's amazing when you think about it. 

Robins vs. Gnomes

They've got Kevin surrounded!  I hope they're friendly.

And so although we moan about the delay of green leaves, colorful tulips, flowering trees, remember, as the robins well know, it could be worse.  We could be in Duluth!
