Robins robins everywhere

Who has them

They are here

Hopefully spring is near

Oh how I love to hear them sing here.

Robins are always a good sign! Once you see them hoping around in your yard trying to pull up worms you know that spring is close.

I grew up in Wisconsin and the Robin is the state bird, we always knew that spring was near when they showed up and they revitalized our spirit knowing the long hard winter was finally over !!! Good sign !!!

They don't ever leave PNW, I see them all year here !!!

Ya they don't leave? Ive been seeing them all winter in my yard.

I grew up in MN and Lived for many years in the West central part of the state. It was very common to see Robins in the dead of winter. if they have a food source they often won't leave. Berries and bird seed are eaten a lot. Here in the river valley near Nine Mile Falls, WA we have them year round as well.

wsucowboy · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2011, 06:30:57 PM »

I've been seeing them for a while. Been hearing the frogs at night for the past 2 weeks also.

quadrafire · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2011, 08:54:25 PM »

They must have made it to the eastside, because I had about a bushel basket of mountain ash berries on my deck yesterday. What a fricking mess!
They come in and go crazy--getting drunk and flying into the windows.

Anybody ever make Mt ash wine?? gotta be good stuff

We had about a dozen sitting in our ash tree this morning wonder what this foot of white stuff is here in Nine Mile.

The robins are back, four days later than last year. Hopefully they brought spring in on thier tail feathers.

bearpaw · « **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:31:11 PM »

We had a few but all I see outside now is snow...

Kowsrule30 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2012, 11:28:15 AM »

Every morning and evening my yard is full of them....

hillbillyhunting · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2012, 11:45:41 AM »

I have heard that robins used to be a game bird. Does anyone have info on this or has anyone hunted them in the past?

I don't know that I've noticed any Robins around here yet. I'll keep my eyes open.

We have had tons of Robins and Cedar Wax Wings here in Spokane for the last week, but snowing today.

Southpole · « **Reply #30 on:** February 19, 2013, 08:02:14 AM »

We had an army of robins march in last Saturday. It was a nice site watching them rip and tear up the ground, flinging leaves around like they were old worn out rugs. I also noticed some skunk cabbage poking through some mud. Yeah baby yeah... bring on some much deserved early spring

Boss .300 winmag · « **Reply #31 on:** February 06, 2016, 02:20:41 PM »

Seen one Thursday walking to the barn, plus a bunch of starlings. Earliest I've ever seen them.

Had a girlfriend in college that would eat them when she'd go canoeing, said they were delicious.

Crocuses blooming in my yard.

Neighbors sheep are dropping lambs like crazy. Saw a frog hop across the road last night. Grass and cattails growing. *censored*willows and filberts fuzzing up. Spring is near.

elkboy · « **Reply #34 on:** February 06, 2016, 11:22:22 PM »

Cedar waxwings and robins all over my neighborhood this week. Nice mix of dark-eyed juncos and chestnut-backed chickadees, too. The snowdrop lilies are doing their typical February thing. (Whitman Co., WA). I wouldn't say spring is here, but it is sending advance notice!
