They were inhaling the berries of the Mountain Ash trees in town. I worried about them when we had that big dump of snow, but haven't found any corpses with the recent thaw so they must be surviving some how.

When they arrive here, you rarely see two together in the same yard unless it's a male and a female. If there are more, someone is chasing someone else OFF their territory.

My son is a railroad engineer working the grain trains from Spokane to Coulee City. Almost nightly he is out in below freezing temps., snow covered ground, doing necessary but dangerous work. Your weather reports give me a clue as to what the conditions are for him. BTW he helped your friend Enola Gays son photograph some trains when he was in your area.

We had flocks of robins 100,000+ flying over and nesting in the area for about 3 days. I remember thinking that this is what the carrier pigeon flocks must have looked like. We has smaller flocks the next year and much more normal flocks ever since. I have no idea why that year was different but it was.stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-38668224452103717602017-02-20T07:22:33.296-08:002017-02-20T07:22:33.296-08:00I think so, Ma'am.
