Pair of American Robins in the garden this AM..

I was a bit surprised to find 2 American Robins foraging around the mulch this morning. Robins are known for being almost fearless of humans and I guess that also means fearless of big scary predator balloons. They are too small to trigger the Scarecrow. I shooshed them off and went to verify their diet (hope its not seedlings...)

Phew, luckily, just as I thought, their diet consists mainly of berries (didn't know this) and bugs (knew this).

Robins, you are welcome to return to our garden.
