The Bradford Pear trees are all blooming here, also daffodils, and I know I will spell it wrong the forsitheyia, little yellow flowers on a bush.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble but we have had robins all winter here in Kentucky. There are a few areas in the United States that do not have robins all year, but for the most part they do not migrate. This is a link to a migration map for American Robins:

I live on Long Island in New York and saw a Robin about two days ago. He was feasting on worm in my back yard.
As you can see from the migration map provided by Aurora- The Robins do go away from here for the winter.

Here comes the sun!!!!!! La la la la
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

I had a yard full a week or so ago. They sure did look pretty. Had a big fat one of the patio yesterday. He must have wintered good somewhere.

Haven't seen any here yet, which is a bit unusual. They usually appear just before we get a batch of snow and cold wave, again so they can get their little behinds frozen. Did see a gaggle of geese fly over yesterday. We'll get something this week because it's girl's state basketball. It rarely fails.

Much better than the dead pidgeon that the cat left on the back doorstep here as a "present".

Walked around the house today and some bulbs have sprouted! Hurrah! Started some early seeds and almost all my ordered seeds etc have come. DH is going to build me a light stand and a new raised bed this year so hope to grow more veggies. Yeah!
