This morning I looked out the back window and saw 15 to 20 robins running, flying and digging around in the yard. It was rather impressive to see 5 or 6 clinging to the same branch, as well as several rooting around in the bushes, looking for food, and flocks chasing each other in flight. The chickadees, juncos and even a woodpecker were especially lively today, too.
I've been throwing food on the ground for the juncos (and some sparrows), and lately a squirrel has been visiting, too...I think he likes the corn that's in the mix I sprinkle out there. This also means the neighbor's dog ventures over to sniff the ground...

Well, this morning I woke to a truly *lovely* sight--a dead robin on our backporch...quite a difference from yesterday's experience!
Chip said it looked like something dragged it there, so something is leaving us presents...ewwww....
maybe it's one of the dogs!
