I Smell Worms

I smell worms and so does every bird in Northern Minnesota. Every bird in the tri-county area is in my yard. When I walked out my front door this morning the din of chirping birds was deafening. OK, I'm exaggerating a little, but it was noisy. I live in a very rural area, no car or air traffic, no barking dogs (only our dogs lovely bark, but we do hear wolves and coyotes sometimes) nothing but nature to hear. It was a perfect calm spring morning, complete with a yard and drive way full of hungry robins. I almost feel sorry for the worms, "let's go up to the surface to enjoy the warm spring rain." Suckers, the robins are just waiting for an easy meal. Like worms to the slaughter.
