profusion

One thing I've noticed doing this blog over the years, many phenomena are either totally absent, or displayed in profusion; snowflakes, dandelions, mayflies. Yesterday I spotted the first robins of the year. There was not one or two, however, there were at least a dozen. I remember one spring driving out the lane, and thinking I'd seen a robin. When I got home that night, I made a special note to look for it. I didn't see one robin, though, there were at least 50 in the back yard. Heard the sound of a red-eyed vireo this morning.
