Robins in the Snow

American Robin foraging in April snow

A spring snowstorm hit central South Dakota last night. As I sit here in the warmth of my den, I can see the snow still coming down outside my window. On a little trek downtown earlier this morning, I encountered a small flock of robins cavorting in the snow. They seemed mildly upset at the change in weather, but their mood should change tomorrow when the sunshine returns.
