    Every morning a pair of robins are busy gathering things for a nest , this year I think they picked the neighbors tree right behind us..we have a lot of winter kill and dog areas that will have to be replanted...but they are making use of the dead grass..too bad we don't have a lot more of them using it and we wouldn't have to dig it out and replant...

    Great shots Sherry. I had raked up some dead patches in my yard into piles. By the time I got back to them with the wheelbarrow, the Robin's were taking the grass away! I left it there for them to use for their nests.

    I've said this before, but the Robins are my favorite bird. They keep me company in the yard and I just love the way they talk to one another (and me?).

    I was wondering if there is a way to save other people's photos -- the face-on shot that you posted, I love that one. I'll bet someone knows the answer to that question.

    Daisybeans...on my computer you right click on a photo and mine says save to on one of the many options I click that and save it on my computer...You can make a folder for pictures you like if you don't have one.. You could even right click on it and mine gives me the option of e-mailing so you could send it to yourself and then save it later if it is easier..

    If this doesn't work go to the computer area on here..Good luck...

    Hey Sherry, thanks for the instructions. Got it saved from your photos in your garden.
