Sign of Spring


March 24th, 2010 the first American Robin, (Turdus Migratorius) was spotted at the beach. The first margaritas of the year were prepared last week during Dennis' visit.

  1. I saw a Turdus Turdus in my toilet bowl this morning, no relation!

  2. Alas, turdus means thrush in latin. If it meant something else the bird would be called turdus fenestra. Note that the romans had no word for windshield, so window has to do. The meaning should be clear if you have ever parked under a tree. Finally I can put my high school latin to good use.
