A robin...how neat...Spring has come to W. Va. Do you have any fermenting fruit near the window? I read that robins head for the fruit smell.

Have you seen any Baltimore Orioles yet? We have hummingbirds and doves in our yard in California. I am looking forward to our time in Minnesota this year where there are birds galore. I am considering buying a birdwatching book and keeping track of those I see.

Kerry is in town here today. He did one appearance in public and has a luncheon fundraiser. That is it. I think his work ethic is suspect.

Spring is here, more or less. We've seen robins for a few weeks, but this psycho one has me baffled. There's nothing around the windows that should interest him, e.g., any rotting material, and he seems to move from window to window, pecking and hurling himself at the glass. I don't recall seeing any orioles - we do tend to have a lot of cardinals, blue jays, some hummingbirds and woodpeckers, though. Oh yes, and a few varieties of hawks.
