The Robins are Back

'Thrilled' is  what I described myself to be when I  observed my first robin of this season yesterday. Actually, there were about two hundred or more in the back yard.   What they find to eat there has always been a mystery to me. ( Robins scratch and eat in my back  yard for hours on end).
Nevertheless, they were chirping happily, and, I guess they were eating the tender grasses, and maybe a worm
or so that found himself in the wrong place at just the right time for the birds.

Five or so years prior to this season, when all the robins visited our back yard every morning for about two weeks, one brave fellow decided to stay with us for at least another week all by himself.  I was so honored to see him there alone every morning.  He seemed so contented.  I wanted to adopt  that robin and make a pet out of him.  But, one morning, about a week later, he had disappeared.  I imagine he wanted to catch up with his
flock. I missed him, but the pull of nature visited him, and he complied.  Oh, well, my loss.  Again, I'm very
happy to see the robins.  Next week, they'll leave again,  and so it goes......................

Do you enjoy seeing the robins?
