The robins have visited again.
Since the snow is melting, I went outside to survey the damage to my garden. Things aren’t too bad. There are a few broken branches here and there. The support for my ivy vine totally collapsed, but I was expecting that to happen sometime, so I’m not angry, just disappointed.
Anyway, as I was walking down the back steps, I noticed that there was a lot more bird poop than usual. I really had to be careful to dodge it.
When I looked up at the holly bush, the culprits were confirmed. Robins are the ones who eat my holly berries, and the bush was completely stripped. It was weird to see it without berries, but I guess I’m glad some birds could have something to eat.
Mmmmm, these Cheerios taste even better now. Gah. I was warned by the title, though – my own fault.
Didn’t you have a hundred feet of snow? Where did it go? We’ve learned that giant snows stick around for months.
At least you didn’t have to eat them.
…what…the robins?
Sorry for the mess. But it would be helpful & less messy if you would please leave the following items for next time. Thanks.

Sure those were robins robbin’ all your holly berries? In our neighborhood we have pretty red cardinals (and their less than lovely spouses) hanging in our holly bushes all winter, and I always figured it was for the free lunch that grew there.
