All robins, no Batman

Our neighborhood was invaded by a flock of robins last evening.
There were about 150 of them.
I tried to catch as many as I could in some photographs.
However they didn't like me taking their picture.
So they shit all over Sparky's car.

I hope like hell they are coming back up North!
I need some Spring and Robins are a sure sigh. :P

I have never seen that many Robins in my life, let alone in one place.

Whoa. Very cool. I mean the sheer numbers, not their reactive pooping.

I love how robins freeze when they see you. They're all "if I don't move, maybe that clown over there won't notice me...."

So many robins...so little spring!
I'm always amazed when I see a robin pulling a worm out of the ground...it's like they dig their heels in (do robins have heels?) & just keep at it. Not like other birds that are skittish & fly away when we're near.

I think Sparky should refer to her vehicle as the 102nd Dalmatian.

Probably the robins are one of those wild tribes that think you're stealing their souls if you take their picture. A little more cultural sensitivity would be nice Dr. Monkerstein!
