Description
Several years ago on a cold January afternoon, big, fat flakes of snow were drifting down. I looked out of my office window in Coopersville, MI, and saw birds in an ornamental pear tree outside. All the trees on the street still had Christmas lights on them. I grabbed my camera and took a bunch of photos of what was a flock of about a dozen robins sitting in this pear tree. No idea why they were there - they either forgot to migrate in the fall or came back way too early!

Thanks, Marsha - yes, the lights in the trees were on at night, but I doubt those little bulbs helped! I just never could figure out how that flight of robins ended up in cold, wintery West Michigan in January! poor babies!

Cold little robins! This captures the feel of winter perfectly. Did the lights go on at night? maybe they were getting a little warmth from them. l/f

This photograph appeals to my senses Conni. I have a close affinity to nature and love watching the transition of the seasons. This is a perfect capture of the cusp.LF
