Whether it's true or not I like imaging that they are keeping warm.<BR/><BR/>The robin looks so red breasted, beautiful. Our local bird store sells dried grubs for the bluebirds I wonder if there is a protein product for other birds? But native berries and fruit contain good fats for them, too. <BR/Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-33024724358514727692009-02-04T13:37:00.000-04:002009-02-04T13:37:00.000-04:00Poor little Robin... though I love the photos and ...Poor little Robin... though I love the photos and am jealous of your winter storm.
