When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbing Along...

Not too many years ago it was a big thing to see the first robin of the spring. Those days are gone around here. The Robins hang out all winter now.

I have seen a number of them today. They eat berries leftover from the fall that are on the trees. I guess it is their version of frozen food! When we get a thaw they will go after worms. They are a remarkable bird.

You will never see A Robin at feeder but you will find them in bushes and where the ground has been broken up and the worms are moving around.

Even though there is officially 7 weeks left to winter, it is a reminder spring is coming because of the red breasted friends.
