IT'S A MYSTERY

It's a cold gray afternoon, and we are waiting for a nor'easter to hit tonight. Its expected to drop between 12 to 18 inches of snow. So I ask you, why did over 100 Robins appear today? They covered the lawn looking for worms. They ransacked the leaves in the woods. I guess they may have found grubs in the leaves, but I doubt if there was a worm to be found.
I have heard that some winter over around here in the swamps, but I've never have seen that. Robins do appear in the early spring and some times I've opened some paths on the lawn, hoping they can find some thing.
I do wonder about things like this. Perhaps I should join Twitter and a "Robin" could send me a tweet ;-)

If a Robin tweets back to you, pass on the answer! I think it might have been sensible
"preparedness". Stocking up for the weather to come.

HaHaHa!
Seriously though, enjoying birds and wondering them must be in the genes. Katie has been showing more awareness of birds around our place and likes to look them up on the internet or in her bird book that she found in Bubala's books.
