With three days left before Spring officially arrives here we had a slight relapse. Last evening three inches of snow fell in two hours. It was wonderful!

Then this morning it looked like Spring again when a flock of Robins came to play in the snow.

This has been the coldest winter in the last ten years here in this part of western Montana. Despite that, many Robins stayed here all winter, something I’ve never seen before. I suppose they know what they’re doing!
After a temperature of -5° (F) last night, they still look quite chipper. This little guy was kind enough to pose for me while the sun was out today even though it never did warm up to the freezing point.
