Harbingers of spring? Camera Critters




Late afternoon in St. Paul, MN on April 18, 2013: During our last snowfall (I hope) on the 18th, our crabapple tree was full of dozens of robins. Seems odd to see these harbingers of spring in the midst of falling snow.  Poor things!  Our bird feeders were surrounded by cardinals and sparrows.
To see more Camera Critters, go here.

















Early morning, April 19 looking out my front door.  Happy spring!

  5. Oh, good grief. You have to hardy to live in Minnesota. Or crazy? Lois' dad would curse the winter darkness and moan about those idiotic Swedes that moved to the state and now he was stuck there! :)

    But, summers are glorious! Except for the mosquitoes!

  12. Lovely photos, Kate! Many of my bird-watching friends (and some students, too) have noticed the flocks of robins congregating together, probably wondering how to find food.
