Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
I'm pretty worried about them with this snow...I don't know what they can find to eat when the ground is covered or frozen. My feeders have been getting lots of visits from little seed-eating birds, but I don't even know where the robins have been keeping themselves. So glad tomorrow will be warmer!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy! Back to rain and gloom today, so I'm especially grateful for yesterday sunshine.
DeleteWhat an amazing photo! So happy to see the robins back here too, although last Thursday they were skidding on the ice when they tried to land.
ReplyDeleteI miss robins! I got to see a few in CO, when I was back. Such cheery birds, and a sure sign of spring!
