I have been waiting to see a big flock of Robins show up all fall. I guess the bad weather that hit the northeast has pushed them south because this morning our neighborhood is full of them. They are eating the Bartlett Pears off our trees in the front yard.
As a boy I killed quite a few of them with my Remington .22 single shot rifle, the birds were a welcome change in the diet of many farm families when I was growing up. Their flesh is sweet and tasty and a good mess of Robins would be very pleasing to eat even now but I will let them move on in peace.
I was wondering if we would see any Robins at all this year. I 'm glad they finally made it down to our area. It seems the Robins are still plentiful at least I hope they are.
