I saw a flock of Robins!
 
My husband and I have had a contest since we first met - who sees the first Robin. The robin must be on the ground - not in a tree.

Well, we were visiting a local condo complex that has a great deal of grass/park like setting. I looked and there they were! A flock of Robins!!! On the ground!!! It was snowing!!!!! I've never seen this before - ever. It gave me hope that we might have an early spring. But I hear we have another cold snap coming this week.

Have you seen any signs of Spring yet?

Nope, but then we don't see Spring until April or May!

what a happy sighting in cccc-cold weather :thumbup:
Here in Flor-heat-a, we don't have much in the way of markers between seasons.
"All" the birds come here.
I've seen robin, but she's a relative, so guess that doesn't count, lol :D

My sign for spring is the sound of the cuckoo. She maybe a lazy bird but it does sound good to hear her calling.
