so happy for you! the robins are going thru here north now - I saw flocks from 10 to about 60 in the 'hood the last few weeks. This is the only time we see them in SC, when theyre coming and going north - it must be too hot where I am over the summer - I do miss the robins. You dont notice them when you live w/ them every day, they have such a wonderful song. I do have mocking birds and they are wonderful too - didnt have them up where I used to live. sharet

I see that you are in Ohio. I am in Indiana and we saw 2 robins in our yard last weekend. Hooray! I'm patiently waiting for the sand hill cranes to fly over - should start any day now - then I will know that Spring is really on the way. After the Winter we have had, we deserve an early, nice Spring. But Spring in Indiana is often cold and wet. There have been years that I haven't gotten my garden out until June!

Have been enjoying the birds in Fl for a few weeks now. Our drive and back yard are always filled with robins, cardinals, wrens and of course squirrels.

We've had lovely weather here the last few days and we too have seen robins the last week or so.

I have been spring housecleaning all week and this morning I put out my spring table runners and I am hoping there is no more snow. We have robins here also. Spring will come.

I saw a robin last Sunday while I sat in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot waiting for my before church cup of coffee! I looked and looked to be sure its breast was red and it was. I couldn't believe a robin could survive here in New Hampshire yet since the snow is very deep and the worms and bugs are still asleep in the deep!!!

I have flowers blooming in my yard. The first of the year Narcisis (sp) and the birds are singing. We had 78 degrees yesterday.
