For the Birds
When I saw that very large and fat and healthy looking robin on the laburnum tree behind my house this morning, I was sure that I was hallucinating again.
Or maybe the poor thing was just five months off schedule.
But then I checked with my Audubon Field Guide (There's one on the kitchen window sill and one on the table near the glass doors off the living room.) and cheer-eep, cheer-up:
The American Robin winters in British Columbia and Newfoundland.
Who knew?
I hope my guy has a good safe flight to St. John's.

My own neighbourhood has come alive with the sweet high-pitched whistle of Flickers - a small woodpecker.
And the gigantic Sandhill Cranes pass through the Reifel Bird Sanctuary this time of year.

And dont forget the venue of vultures occupying the legislature.(Seriously that's what a bunch of vultures are called)
