Any Robins Yet?
Any Robins Yet?
One of the first harbingers of spring in always the first Robin sighting. It's been more than ten years since I spent a winter up in these latitudes, but I seem to recall it was always around the first week of March.
I haven't seen or heard any yet. Anyone else?

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

Saw one on Sunday... looked rather content bouncing along on the ground.
Re: Any Robins Yet?
not yet but they should be here soon
Re: Any Robins Yet?
I used to always hear the Red Wing Blackbirds few days before the Robins. I haven't yet heard them either.

Re: Any Robins Yet?
Robins have been back at least 2 weeks.
I saw a flock of them just before last weeks snow and arctic temperatures.

March 5. Still nothing. I talked to my sister who lives about 125 miles north of here. They still have 2 ft of snow on the ground She says there are robins up there.

They must be middle class Robins with aps.

I heard robins in the trees in my neighborhood chirping as far back as the first week of February. Even heard some during the polar cold snap (I suspect some of those birds croaked).
Saw a few feeding in my front yard near the road a few days ago among other places in the neighborhood. This was the first week I've spotted any on the ground. Our snowpack did not disappear until this past weekend.

Re: Any Robins Yet?
They've been hanging around here all winter in recent years (SE Lower Michigan). Though known as "meateaters", they'll eat the high-calorie berries remaining on trees and shrubs during winter.

Re: Any Robins Yet?
A dove couple built a nest in our eaves last spring. Mom & Dad hatched three batches of babies, two in each batch. The nest was right outside our front door, and they seemed totally undisturbed by the humans milling about. When the babies flew the nest, they would hang around our front porch and yard for a few days, then leave for the big wide world. Suffice to say the nest was looking pretty worn & torn by the time it was finally abandoned in the late summer.
Last week we noticed the doves are back, constructing a new nest in almost the exact same spot as last year. I have to wonder if these are last year's babies returning to home base to raise their kids.

All 4 of my Maine Coon Tabby cats have been having a feast, on all the robins in my neighborhood. Thank God for cats, no more bird crap on the car or truck.

Heard some on Wednesday morning.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.
