<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">A couple dozen Robin's have been hanging around all day. I first noticed them rooting around the fresh mowen grass in the front yard. This afternoon, they are pretty much focused in the trees and ground in the back
yard. </font></div>

<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">My "backyard " is predominantly a wild collection of trees. They provide a rich leaf covered floor. These thrush family birds seem to like nothing better than kicking and scratching at the ground cover looking for a
choice morsel. </font></div>
<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">I think hanging around all day would imply that they are being successful. Note, I also have a water source on my deck. </font></div>

<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">After a very sparse Summer for Cardinals at my feeders, the number seems to have increased in the last week or so. I know a good percentage of them are this years fledgling who have discovered a quick source of food. </font></div>

<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">The two regular males seem to have completed their molt and appear a beautiful, healthy red.</font></div>

<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">Not a bird item, but my albino squirrel has hung around all Summer. He sometimes disappears for several days, but then mysteriously shows up again -- I call him the "Ghost". He appears to have a notch in one ear --
a scuffle with one of his peers??</font></div>
