Joyful noise



3-13-09 joyful brain

My nephew and I have been fascinated by the birds this week; we have especially noted an invasion of the ROBINS!
It would seem that the wet warmer weather has made hunting for worms profitable for them. We have seen them in such large numbers; they must be migrating back north. One day we counted 20+ robins in the front yard and enjoyed watching one take a bath in the bird bath recently filled with rain. A few days later was counted 30+ robins in the back yard and in the neighbors Oak tree. This was taken at 3:30 in the afternoon, one very overcast day.
How many robins can you count in this picture?

The song of the robin is one my favorites. I will look forward to their “cheery, joyful noise ” as the days warm up and the windows can be open.
