Little robins (wikipedia linked if you're interested to know more about them) were all about this morning to grace the pathway along the trail. They are migratory birds and the earliest to begin returning in about February. They set up housekeeping once back in warmer climates and raise 2 or 3 sets of broods per year. I think it delightful they seem to function as little sentries for the bird kingdom to herald storm warnings and the end of such by singing a series of notes.
I used to enjoy finding and collecting their springtime hatched eggs strewn alongside the road as I ran. That is, until science discovered birds are prime virus carriers. So much for collecting sweet littlel bird eggs alongside the road.
Getting acquainted with Mother Nature is one of the best benefits resulting from running, jogging, or walking. Another is gaining an understanding one's own abilities and simply obtaining and maintaining some levels of fitness. Most will agree, our world is a beautiful world as spring nears and nature begins to renew itself.
Hope you're enjoying it too!
