A week or so ago, our yard was covered in at least one hundred robins... this week, it is covered with a foot a snow. I've always known robins generally prefer to eat worms and insects, but what I didn't learn is that they will also eat fruit... and apparently sumac fruit is one of their favorites... and I also learned that those red clusters on the ends of our sumac trees is indeed its edible fruit.

So anyway, with snow covering any chance for worms or bugs, I managed to photograph a couple robins making due with sumac fruit until the weather gets warmer again.
