Awww Monday! January 16, 2023

I always thought robins migrated south in

the winter, but we still see them flying

in and out of our trees!

Maybe it's not so cold for these robins??

So I googled and this what I found out:

"American Robins can be found year round in Washington

although most often the birds that breed in Washington

migrate south and are replaced for the winter by birds that

nest further north. Large migratory flocks can be seen

in the spring and fall."

Once again I have learned something new!

Have a great week!

Thanks Sandee!

Magpie Tales The Early Bird

Waking, Walking, Singing, in the Next Dimension?
1979 by Morris Graves 



Infinite possibilities

Being free as a bird

Waking in a cozy nest

Walking like a robin

Hopping over the grass 

Cocking your head

Listening

Feeling with your feet

Your next wriggly snack

Chirping in the trees

and flying free as a bird

Wildlife Weekend and Aww Mondays

The weather on Sunday was a bit dramatic with

the huge clouds in the sky......

I spent some time just sitting on the deck watching

the world go by.

As I was going outside I spotted Mr Tom Turkey

 outside the dining room window having a

morning snack under the bird feeder....

Of course the robins are always on the lawn 

looking for a nice tasty worm to eat.  

Wow what a surprise ! The local Jackrabbit hopped

by and didn't realize how close I was.

When he did spot me he hopped away a bit....

look how much longer his back legs are.

All the better to run away.....

He ( or she...not sure ) stopped- looked at me one more time

and speedily hopped away.....it's amazing how

the animals here really do blend in when not moving.

Awwww he's pretty darn cute!
