A convocation of robins

There are robins everywhere. In the trees in the sky looking fat and healthy and singing away. Jess Deane says he has never seen so many. But I remember something similar from the first trip I took to Chase County with Bill in late January 2000. They must be congregating for the trip north. And perhaps because it is colder than usual they hang out here for awhile. It's worth noting that the high here today was projected at 32 degrees and and Chicago the projected high is zero. I must remember this on those 100+ days in July.
