Robins of Spring

Undaunted by spring's rambuncious weather, the summer birds have been making their way back in great numbers.  We recently had a blanketing flock of robins come through.  Looking out the window the sight of a carpet of fluttering robins is enough to induce dizziness.  I snapped a photo of one fellow right by the back door after he cheekily hopped about and drew my attention to all of his friends.  They did not linger long, hopping here and there and finally taking flight again.
