Can Robins Hear Worms?

I watched this Robin walking around under the feeders, pecking at the ground, and then it pulled up a skinny worm and ate it. Just like that. How'd the bird know the worm was there? Could it hear it squirming around under the ground? I don't know.

 


Today's squirrel was the fluffy one. It spent quite a bit of time on the suet nuggets. They must taste really good. I know there are three different flavors in there right now. The least popular ones seem to be the berry flavored ones but the peanut and sunflower ones are disappearing.

 

Here's another daffodil and hyacinth picture. Just because I can. And because they won't last much longer before they're all shriveling up and turning brown.

 


I drew a Dragonfly again today. I wasn't in such a drawing mood and when that page flipped up I decided to just draw it again. I thought about drawing another one but then wasn't in the mood for that either.

 

This morning I had a critique Zoom with cda. I'd sent her a creepy short story I wrote years ago and she really liked it. In the afternoon I did some online searching to see if I can't find a horror mag or anthology to submit it to. One magazine I found actually pays per word if they accept your story. Amazing!

Then I spent the rest of the afternoon doing the critiques I need to have done for Wednesday morning. I have one of them completely done and need to read the other two a couple more times and add comments. These five weeks have been a lot of work.
