Excellent image Trish, i could almost hear the babies chirping.#2: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Feb 5, 2011
Oh Spring - can't wait to see you again. Lovely puzzle Trish. I have missed you#3: Trish (tryingmysoul) on Feb 5, 2011
I've been around. Just not particularly creative right now.#4: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Feb 5, 2011
nice image#5: Beth (shasta) on Feb 5, 2011
Very nice puzzle. It took me a long time to get the mommy.#6: Wombat (wombatilim) on Feb 5, 2011 [HINT]
This was tricky to solve at the end. 3/4 of the puzzle solves easily with line & color logic, and then you have a corner of the puzzle that's still unsolved and not obvious.#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 5, 2011 [SPOILER]
I wound up making sure all of the totally used numbers were marked around the edge, and then I could see where the remaining red 2s needed to go with some edge & two-way logic. The rest solves nicely until the last few squares, which can be solved with (sideways) smile logic.
The Latin name for the robin is turdus migratorius. My birdwatching friends like to call them little turds. :)#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 15, 2011
Such a lovely image, Trish. The solve was tricky but very fun, no guessing.#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Dec 19, 2017
The image is a little odd and very sweet. Enjoyable solve.#10: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Aug 10, 2019
Lovely. Very clever image. Fun solve.#11: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Jan 24, 2023
Enjoyed the solve...had to do trial and error in the end but it worked out. Thanks!#12: Wombat (wombatilim) on Jan 24, 2023 [HINT]
Turns out this is even less complicated than my 2011 (!) hint would imply.#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 24, 2023
R7: whichever way the last 2 goes, R8C25 is black. From here the line & color logic gets you almost done, then smile logic to finish.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#14: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 7, 2023
The American Robin is the state bird of Connecticut.
The state animal is the whale.
I don't know why that's funny.
