The Harbingers of Spring...

The other day, my 13-year-old son, C********* came running in my room. "Dad, you have to come look!!! There is a cool bird that keeps flying into the window!!!"

I said, "What kind of bird is it?"

He replied excitedly, "I don't know, but it has cool black feathers on its head, and bright red feathers on its front."

Expecting to see a woodpecker or Flicker of some sort, I went into the living room to wait. After a couple of minutes, I heard the "tap tap tap" at the window. I looked up and a robin was attacking its reflection in the window. Not quite the exotic bird I was expecting. Don't kids learn about robins in 1st grade?
