March and April of
my 2025 calendar are an American Robin (Michigan's state bird!) and a pair of Blue Jays. Robins leave my area for the coldest months but return in March to stake out their territory. I love them dearly and am always happy to have them nest around my yard. Blue Jays are all-year regulars, but it is rare that they share the food bowl, so this was a special photo. It is rainy and dark here today, I hope these photos can provide some cheer. (Calendars are available here.)
