I know I had to scrape frost off the car this morning, but came home to find a flock of robins flitting around. Sorry the photos aren't better, but they were on the move!

That is a cool sign of Spring! How many did you see?

I AM MOVING TO FLORIDA ! If robins were in Iowa today they would be snowbound like the rest of us

My Mom saw a flock of robins just today in her snow covered tree! Come on Spring!

I cannot wait to get back so I can see birds!!

Ohhhhhhhhh, lucky you! I long to see the robins! I can't wait for spring. For about 28 years we've had a family tradition...the first person to see a robin in the spring gets a pie of his/her choice. Depending on the year, robins will start to come back to central Illinos in mid-March to early April. I've seen Canadian geese headed north in the past few weeks, a sign that winter is waning. I'm also anxious for the snow to melt, as I start to check everyday for crocus to peep out through the slush and mud. I love spring.

Can't wait to see Robins in my trees!!!! We still have snow on the ground and more coming this weekend.... :thumbdown:

We're still buried in snow, but the temps are coming up and the sun is up longer, so I know its on its way, even w/o the robins!

I'm in NE Ala & enjoy seeing birds & squirrels out my back door every Spring & Summer. There's a row of hedges that they flit across as they play. Wouldn't it be so nice to be a creature with no cares, & beautiful to boot. Enjoy the birds & the luscious scenery there in FL. Thanks for snapping the pics.
