It's been a strange winter here in central texas. Overcast most every day. Reminds me of winters of my youth in western pa, always gloomy and overcast but without the dirty snow.
the really strange phenomenon is the robins this year. They are here by the tens of thousands.
Last night I was sitting at my pond and the sky, horizon to horizon was covered with them. When walking in the woods the sound of their singing is almost deafening. They will all be singing and then they all stop at the same time and there is silence...for about 5 seconds, and the drowning song restarts. I have to fill my rather large birdbath twice a day they drink and bathe so much.
theyre always here in the winter I just have never seen so many. They must be on some kind of up cycle to be so plentiful. Luckily there aren't any Cajuns around these parts. Or maybe unluckily.
watch out you folks up north, they're coming...
