Just yesterday, I took my grandfather to the bank and just before he got out of the car, we were staring straight ahead into a huge hedge full of robins eating red berries. My grandfather said "Look, it's robins".
He went inside to cash his check and I watched the robins -- there must have been 30 of them -- and they would eat a berry, swallow it whole, then eat another berry, swallow it whole. They looked almost frantic in eating the berries! Now that I think on this more, I'll bet they knew of the awful frigid temperatures coming this way this week and were trying to stock-up on food to keep them warm.
Or the bank's hedge was a pit stop on wherever they were traveling and they were just hungry. icon_nixweiss
ARG! I wish I had my camera with me!!! Birds are some of my fav subjects.
Richard and DT - on the weather channel they just showed Kalamazoo, MI and all the snow. They showed a man using a snow blower in what looked like in the middle of a blizzard. It looked really, really.......................... COLD! *shivers*
