Did You Know? (Robins)

To many people Robins signal the return of Spring.  Although these days more winter over than they used to, seeing a flock of them in the yard eating berries makes me feel that Spring has made an early return.  Did you know that a young robin has a black beak and a full adult has a yellow beak with just a tip of black at the end of the beak?  The first robin has a definite black beak and therefore appears to be young.

Since I am still on my nuts and berries diet (have lost 17 lbs. but still have 10 to go), like the robins, I got to have some wonderful mixed berries and red grape fruit salad at Mug Up this morning.  Everyone else got to have what’s in the third photo.  I don’t know what it was, and I avoided looking at it any longer than it took to photograph it to avoid temptation.  It was a great Mug Up.  Thanks so much Donna and Rick.
