World's Fattest Robin

Robin in the cherry tree,
Sing a little song for me.
--Laura and Susan's nursery song from "The Baby Tapes," c. 1964

I wish I were a better photographer, because this guy is huge! I was sitting (here) at my dining room table writing and I looked out my window at the neighbor's lawn. I thought at first that their was a rust-colored ball sitting there, which would not be that odd because she has four kids. But a rust-colored ball? Then I thought it was maybe a pair of balled-up socks. I looked closer and saw that it was a harbinger of spring. Big time!

i wish i could see it better . . . sometimes birds just puff up their feathers in the cold, making them look about four times as large as they are.

That is so funnny that you wrote about the robins. We had a huge flock in our backyard today and they were all very fat indeed!
