March 9 2011 - Harbinger of spring

the French call him Le Rouge-gorge

...although, evidently, the European Robins are quite a bit smaller
(and their colouring is a little different, too).
A friend of mine was on a plane once seated next to a Frenchman,
and decided to ask him his impressions of Canada.
My friend was startled when the man gushed:  "Your rouge-gorge are enormous!"
Not knowing what he was talking about, my buddy simply blushed and said, "why, thank you".
