My Robin Friend

15 years ago

I posted sev wks ago about the Robins that were here in Il. After the blizzard they all left but one. I have a berry tree in my yard that attracted them. The berries appear to be sour (possible choke cherry tree), we just moved here in Dec. so we're not sure what it is. This little Robin seemed to be ailing. When he would see me at the door he would come and sit and just chirp at me. I think he was saying please help me. I bought some night crawlers and offered him one, which he ate with much glee and gusto. Since then he watches me at all my windows and when I go to the door he comes for his worms. His morning worm excites him, as he is waiting on the stoop for me, Have I made a mistake? Will he expect this all the time. I give him 4 worms a day. $3 for a doz. We still have snow cover and the squirrels have eaten all the berries. I enjoy his company in this long winter.
