Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 07, 2023

I’ll take a guess that robins have no clue what a CPA looks like.

They can both recognize Red.

I see Robins almost year round. When young. I asked my mom if they shouldn’t fly south for the winter. She said, " we are the south."

Isn’t this the very time of year when tax accountants are common? We’re less than 6 weeks from the filing deadline.

I like robins. They’re not shy, you know when they are around. They have more than one nesting in our area. They’re here before the snow melts. They are brave little workaholics.

I have a co-worker whose family owns a tax service. She normally works part time there during tax season. This year she took a LOA to work at the TAX office full time. So for me too, it has been several weeks without seeing a tax accountant in the wild!

Robins here in the Northeast don’t seem to bother migrating anymore.

The doves have nested and the cardinals are at the bird feeder. The other 20 kinds are birds I’m not sure of. Ok, blue jays: they like to steal the peanuts from the squirrels.

I filed my taxes on line several weeks ago. I have noted one thing about the IRS. If you owe them money they will take it out of your account with in a day, two at the most, of accepting your return. If they owe you a refund, it may take a couple of weeks for your money to show up.

So you normally see them at least once a week, kid?

Only if the robins have taxing behavior.

Yep, those tax accountants are sure easy to spot outdoors. Must be the big CPA on their hats.

“Tax accountants in the wild”? How often are tax accountants ever seen in the wild? Almost all of them are fully domesticated by now.

I live in the mid-Atlantic – we have robins year-round. Bluebirds, too.

We associate the arrival of spring with a cloud of fur surrounding our cat.

The robins here on the north coast came out of the woods two weeks ago. We already saw the first snowdrops. Large formations of migratory geese have been flying west to cross over into Canada and their nesting grounds. On the other hand, the juncos are still showing up under the feeders.

“…what each other looks like” doesn’t sound grammatical.
