Every year we await the return of the Robins and Jays at the end of winter.  Much like those in California await the return of the Swallows to Capistrano, though, perhaps, with a little less significance.  This year was a surprise as it would seem that they all came to our holly tree before heading out to all points in the area!

American Robin Redbreast

There were more than twice this amount up in the holly tree!

And, all were throwing the berries to the ground!

The squirrel made sure he got his fair share of the bounty too.

They left nothing behind when they flew off.
