The Best of Both Worlds

Robins in snow

Over at Halibut Point the formerly emblematic bird of spring is now staying through our New England winters, with or without worms. I enjoy its valiant survival in my outings from the comfort of home. As a beneficiary of the best of both worlds I maintain a feeder for the 'common' birds of the neighborhood. The sunflower seeds bring one of life's most generous returns on investment.

  1. Gorgeous photography, Martin! Could I get a copy of the chickadee photo? It's one of my favorite birds, and the state bird of my new home.
