According to astronomers, it's been spring since just before 1:00pm EDT
last Thursday. The weather was spring-LIKE for a couple of days, but
it's supposed to go back to crappy weather tomorrow & Tuesday (possible
sleet, snow or freezing rain).
But, spring is definitely on the way.

Driving home this evening, I saw about a hundred American Robbins on the
grassy verge. I'd never seen so many together in one place. They're
usually fairly solitary. One will come into the yard while I'm cutting
the grass, and if another tries to land, the first one will try to chase
him away.
I was unfortunately not in a position to pull over and take a
photograph, but imagine a stretch of grass alongside the road a hundred
feet long by twenty-five feet wide, overlaid with a grid of robins, one
every 5 feet.

Thanks Rick. The early morning light is special, particularly with
the shadows. The branches (with snow cover) are there to show the
signs of the over-night snow fall, but I take your point.

That's nice, Stan. I like the shadows and the colors of the snow
and ice on the river. Somehow the branches make the scene less
peaceful, though.
