A flock of at least 30 robins in the yard, maybe up to 50 or so. Seems strange to see that many together at once, this far north (Indianapolis), at this time of year. Usually only see them in pairs and/or when nesting in the spring/summer.

How come they do that?? Notice I did not ask why. (doh) I have always had hunting dogs. I have always had mice in the house and rabbits nesting in the yard. After my last dog passed away there was a 4 year span that I had no dog. During that 4 year span, I also had no mice in the house nor rabbits nesting in the yard. Now that I have another hunting dog I once again have mice in the house and rabbits nesting in the yard. The dog is very good at catching the mice and rabbits, but yet they persist. Is there something built in to prey animals that they find it exciting to try to live as close to a predator as they can? Is there a built in knowledge that since there are very few predators in the city that some of them must find ways to commit suicide to keep the population in check for the benefit of the species? I don't get it. But my dog loves it, and they keep her occupied while I am at work. She is always very proud to deliver to me her catches of the day when I get home. OK senseless mind wandering over for now. Is it spring yet? Maybe its just cabin fever, and my scoot needs some exercise.
