Robins!

A flock of robins showed up Saturday in Library Park.

Robins have been known to stay through winter in New Jersey for several years now, instead of migrating south. I saw some very large flocks in Cranford while on assignment there as a reporter. I must say, they were sometimes more interesting to watch than the event I was assigned to cover for the newspaper.

These robins had their feathers puffed up for warmth. I hope they found some early worms emerging for the early birds.

Spring may still be nine weeks away, but it was nice to see robins and imagine the season approaching.
