Nice pictures. Turns out we have some robins that stay here in Cleveland so they aren't a sign anymore for us. :( Because i see them all the time.

I'm also in Central FL and saw some for the first time this week. Even though we're in FL, this has been a really cold winter so far and to me robins are always a sign of spring.

the audobon society says that this is a bumper crop year for robins. and they all met for lunch at moonpi's. the first part is true. the second part i read in the tabloids.

Where in central FL are you? I'm in The Villages and love it. My husband came home from golfing today and said the golf course was full of robins getting ready to fly north. 2 years ago we came home from running errands and every house on both sides of our street had robins lined up across the peaks on all of our roofs. I'd never seen such a thing or so many like that before. We've been here 4-1/2 years.
