World Domination... One Tree At a Time



Do Northerners ever wonder where robins go for the winter? Some of them like blues and barbecue, for they seem to flock here to Memphis. This tree by a neighbor's house has held blackish-purple berries for months. They must be ripe now, because a flock of robins is stripping the tree today. It is raining, cool, and windy. Even the cat is not coming out to feast on the fat birds, though she sits in the garage doorway watching them.
Have you ever seen this many robins in one place? Are they plotting to take over the berry-producing world? News at 11.
