      THIS BLOG IS FOR THE BIRDS!

    Today's  blog is for the birds. Well, actually,
about the birds
       First, hats off to the Robins who seem to
be winning the race to spring. You see this is
the day the Swallows return to San Juan
Capistrano. They always return to the old
mission in southern California on Saint
Joseph's Day and their appearance in taken
as a sign that Spring has arrived too.
       Around here though the Robins are
winning. There have been sightings of
Robins throughout our area for the past
few weeks or so. That's also taken by many
to be a sign of Spring.
         We don't see as many birds as we

used to. Probably because we've stopped

feeding them. One of our neighbors

complained that the sparrows waited

for our bird seed on the electrical wires

directly above his car. Seems their 

presence was evident by the droppings

on his sedan! 
         Ironically I recently noticed
several perched on that same wire even

though we weren't offering dinner! If

they're gong to hang there anyway I

might change my "good neighbor

policy!"
         By the way this is the same

time of the year , just a few days earlier
(March 15th) when the Vultures return

 to Hinckley, Ohio!
        Hope whatever birds you spot

mean that Spring is here and that all

your NEWS is good!
