Thank you, CoralDoc. I'm sure it's puffed up but it looks like it's gonna pop.

We don't have robins but we always have ravens. They make big poops. We have a eucalyptus tree that has been used for a nest for the past two years. I expect the pair to come back soon and start their third brood.

I'll be heading down to my house in St. Augustine in 4 weeks.

Have the Robins invaded there too?

The seagulls and sandpipers are always in force there!

Don't worry, Flts, we get the same thing and I'm sure they're just fattening themselves up to make the journey here so they can poop on my S .
We saw lots of Robins in the Chapel Hill area last weekend....so they can't be far from Lynchburg.

Btw, did you get the package that I sent to you from the air last Thursday and Monday?

Robins are supposed to be a sign of spring in our area.

Haven't seen any yet!
They usually don't get here untill April

And after the foot of snow we got yesterday I know the ground hog was right.

The robins are gone. Spring must be headed your way.

Time to pressure wash all the robin poop off the driveway. I have an huge Egyptian fig tree in my yard, they stripped it clean of fruit then sat there fat and contented. The one part of my driveway that goes under the tree is almost invisible at the moment.

Glad the snow went to your area this time, Levi.

We have had enough. We ended up with rain, and just a bit of ice this A.M.

Those aren't Robins. This is a Robin:



The British Robin, aka Robin Redbreast. Your's are just some sort of Blackbird!

Mind you, we do have other sorts of Robins as well:



The Reliant Robin, aka 'one wheel short of a full set'.

Your robins look smaller than ours, do migrate in huge flocks too.
They look more like a member of the finch family.

I always liked watching robins pull on worms to get them out of the ground. They stretche them right out.
