Today was the earliest time of the year I have ever seen a robin in this area. Three weeks before spring. And most of the land was still snow covered. First I saw the back of one fly away and I was not completely sure it was a robin. A few seconds later I spotted the tell-tale red breast of an another robin. And minutes later I spotted in one spot at least ten robins congregating in some bare spots. There is no mistaking their hip hop. The robins are going to be in trouble: the weather forecast is for another snowstorm in two days. I don’t know what they are going to eat.
