Over the past few weeks we've seen sporadic flocks of robins congregating in the area. They would seem to gather around a few trees, individuals flitting in and out, and then move on in a hour or two. They were fleeting enough that Alycia hadn't witnessed the phenomenon and thought that I was starting to lose my marbles when I described it to her.
The other day I was able to capture on camera (poorly) a flock of them in a neighbors tree. Yeah, it's not the greatest picture, but every dark speck in the tree is a robin. They were similarly congregated in a few trees across the street as well. It was hard to determine how many in total, dozens for sure, over a hundred. Maybe even hundreds of them?
Robins are a welcome sight as the presage the arrival of Spring. It's been a pretty dry and mild winter here but we're having a cold, gray, rainy spell and any inkling of Spring is a welcome sign.
