Spring dining
Friday, 28 March 2008
I finally pulled a carpet of noxious weeds from the (empty) flower garden last evening, and this morning I noticed a robin out there grazing.
Poor robins. Their scientific name, Turdus migratorius fortunately means something more high-fallutin than it sounds. Turdus means thrush and it’s a genus with many species….
And, yes, it’s the state bird of Michigan (includes sound files)!
