Post by: vandeman17 on February 21, 2011, 09:26:12 AM: 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.

Post by: robodad on February 21, 2011, 09:32:41 AM: 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 !!! :IBCOOL:

Post by: Suncrest Sniper on February 21, 2011, 03:41:54 PM: 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.

Post by: quadrafire 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.

Post by: Southpole 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 :IBCOOL: 8) :IBCOOL: 8)

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

Crocuses blooming in my yard.

Post by: elkboy 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!
