I guess my mystery of what that poor robin I saw last Sunday could eat here in NH has been solved! I thought they just ate worms and bugs. Am glad to hear they can eat things off trees too. Come to think of it, he was sticking close to a tree with a lot of other birds. Maybe the tree had some berries or something. Today is beautiful here in Manchester NH. Up in the 60's. However, the weatherman, a person who takes glee in reporting bad news ;) says we are in for some more freezing weather this weekend. Oh well, winter sticks long and hard here in the northeast! Makes summer that much sweeter!
