Mobs of Robins

Well, we get one more day of wonderful weather before the monster cold front rolls over us. Although, that wonderful weather includes dense fog advisories.

The shrub roses at work are still blooming. It won't last past this weekend, but it is nice. There are also reports of cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin.

I saw a swarm of robins in the little bit of wooded area at work last night. There had to be at least three dozen of them, most likely more. They usually form flocks in winter, but are secretive berry eaters rather than earthworm munchers. But there they were, out in the open.

Lucky you to get the mobs of Robins! I look forward to their yearly visit as a mob--hope it happens this year! Sometimes they will visit as an exact dozen...

I know. It is just something you usually don't see around here until spring. But then we have been having crazy weather.
