Birds and buds!

As with previous years since moving to where I am, I have spotted rounds of robins throughout the winter.  But to keep with tradition I will note that over the weekend I spotted several individual robins out and about foraging.  Last year it was March 3, so I feel like we're ahead of schedule even for this area.  The trees in the parking lot by the chinese restaurant I prefer also appear to be budded, this too has been one of the earlier signs I spot around here.
