Countdown to Spring: Nothing to Report Except ...

... my first robin sighting.

I'm usually about two weeks behind the rest of the local population.  But considering we were still pretty snowbound two weeks ago, I'm likely right in with the rest of the crowd in catching a glimpse of one of signs of spring that we all look for.

My robin looked a little forlorn in one fairly large area of bare ground in a nearby park, doing the walk-stop-listen-repeat food prowl in an area where the worms have likely not shown up yet, and goodness knows, there hasn't been much insect life yet, either.  That'll change, of course.  But right now, pickin's is mighty slim.  No wonder he was a solo act.

Only 4 days until spring.
