robins don't really migrate. well, they do sort of. but they don't go far, what you are seeing are robins from a little further north. keep an eye on evergreen treetops, you'll see lots of them up there, especially at roosting time.

Never knew that.

Guess I did learn something today. It is unussual that I've seen one this early though. I'm use to seeing them in March around here, but I'll take whatever nature can throw at me for a little Spring action.

Facts about Robin Migration I have seen robins around this time in areas where there are plantings designed for the birds, like in the parks.

I was outside today, looked up and saw the upper half of a cat's head peering over the neighbor's roof ridge at me. All black with yellow eyes. I called L to come and look, commented that he thinks we can't see him. Then said, "That's funny!" At that, the cat's ears went back and he turned around and disappeared.

Cats don't like to be laughed at. {#Lol}

but did you get your frisbee back?
