Robin Red Breast

Daylily casualty
Robins flocking in the yard
Purification


***I lost a daylily to grub worms and the Robins love grubs and worms. The last two days the robins have been all over my yard eating worms and grubs.....poetic justice!!

One year when I was a child I was walking in the yard and army worms were every where....I run in side and tell mom then I go back out and worry that they will eat all our vegitation....shortly a flock of birds by the thousands comes along and eats up the worms it was like a blessing and yet it happend so fast I don't think my parents really believed me.

Yes, there was one year that the army worms invaded here..There were some places that got damage..Some farmers that farmed in a big way had crop damage..Some people said that they came in homes and businesses...Thanks for stopping by..Mom
