The birds left early this year in my neck of the woods. I haven't saw a robin in months.

The birds left early this year in my neck of the woods. I haven't saw a robin in months.

We saw very few since the first clutch.

It's like they only clutched once instead of two-three times.

I wondered if they didn't head north - and we'll see them come back through in large flocks this fall.

They do taste better than Meadowlarks.

Well I had one in the shop this morning that decided he didn't want to leave. So there is at least one around...

Yet in the spring (and before spring) they come back when its cold. If i had wings --- i would leave next week and you wouldnt see me until June 1.

Hummin birds ---- they leave for cancun area ---- thats unbelievable --- no wonder they havent perfected foward facing sonar yet -- they fly too many miles

I’ve decided robins are way tougher than I always assumed they were. Sometimes they’re back a month before it’s half decent… cold wet ####y March and they’re here in droves.

It’s still going to be mid to high 80’s isn’t even getting cold up farther north. Setting up to be one big push hope all the birds do t just blow right over

Some fires up there with the wind out of the north we are getting some smoke. Wonder when we file the law suit for you guys polluting the air?

Gold finches are hearty little birds some most often spend winter months right in your backyard, as winter approaches they turn brown.ive had robins hanging in my pine tree stand the last two winters sctaching the pine needles for food,ive read robins dont feed on seeds,not sure how they survive winter months in northern states.

My great grandfather off the boat from Italy would totally agree with you. I'm told he loved early spring and .22 BB caps. He flashed fried them in a salted, smoking hot iron skillet.
