Perhaps tis a great sight, but perhaps tis a bad omen? Don't ask me, I'm an
econut who is very quick to claim that acid rain will make the sky fall.

Yup. Here in Balmer, Marelun, where it's been below 32 for several
weeks
and below 20 for a good portion of that time, and only the last two days
has
been above freezing.

But it's sad because of where I saw it--which was my living room
floor.
Yup, the cats brought it in through the cat door and left it as a lovely
present for me. Then they tried to blame it on the dog (he's
outnumbered)
and I have to admit, the dog didn't look very innocent, nose covered
with
feathers & gore as it was. Yuk.

Now before you flame me I hasten to say my cats cannot leave their own
back
yard, so are not a threat to other gardens. And I love birds and all
animals great and small, and am grieving at the loss of this fellow (he
was
a BIG bird, too) as I vacuum up the many feathers strewn across my
living
room. Seems they had quite a romp while I was out today.

My question: what in the WORLD was a robin doing here in Baltimore at
this
time of year? Don't they migrate south for the winter?

May he rest in peace (sniff).
