As for the snow I would love to visit it but gotta say I erally dont miss it much anymore just the family that is still there. Headed back out to do some more work! Donna

Veilchen: I finally bought a field guide to birds, primarily so I could try to identify all (or at least some) of those little brown birds that flood the feeder and the ground under it. I looked up robins (in the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Birds - Eastern Region) - it says: "Although considered a harbinger of spring, robins often winter in the northern states, where they frequent cedar bogs and swamps and are not usually noticed by a casual observer, except when they gather in large roosts, often containing thousands of birds." It would make sense in my area which is cedar country with a pond/abandoned cranberry bog and stream nearby. Lots of wild winterberries near the pond and along the stream. I can visualize the robins moving to the bogs when the worms in the lawn head farther underground for the winter. The birds could chow down on the cedar berries and winterberry fruits. Or they could come down from Canada too. Whatever. The thought of a roost of thousands of robins is a little scary, though. Claire

Hi, April, it's on it's way!!!!!!!!!! If you winter sow, there will be some seeds to get ready for. Here's the dcn: 0303 1290 0001 1505 7762. Jeanette, you were so kind to me, and I thank you for that very much!!! I always enjoy sorting through the packets of these robins. I hope someone can use what I added. Thanks again for letting me play! It was great! : ) Treasa
