On Sunday afternoon, we spotted our first robin. Gary, Jan, Dan and I had just walked up the hill from the cabin after moving the dock. We were watching a cardinal in the woods near the dumpster corner who was attacking his reflection in Jan & Gary's car windows. All of a sudden, another bird flew by and landed in a nearby branch. We thought it was the female cardinal but it was a robin! The first one is always exciting to see because everyone knows it's a sign of spring. The males come 2-3 weeks ahead of the females to claim their territory. Their breasts are a redder orange than the females who have more of an orange breast. Have you seen a robin yet?

Wow a robin! Spring is coming. I did have a male and a female cardinal at my feeder yesterday. That was fun to see. Ann
