Big pot-bellied robins and a flock of juncos and waxwings are woofing down the dried fruits in my crabapple tree by the back deck.

Is this a sign????!!!

OOOhh aren't you lucky! Where are you? I could swear that I've been hearing Robins in the early morning when I do my barn chores - but haven't seen one yet (I'm in WI - central part of the state). Spring HAS to come, right????

Our resident mockingbird (who I call "The Sentinel Bird" since he watches over our house) was eating the crabapples from ours, too...I think they're all starving at this point..those things taste NASTY!

Maybe a hint of Spring? One can only hope.

I too saw a few flocks of robins yesterday. I also saw a lot of robin poo. They're among the nastiest & messiest of the bird species.

Robins, nasty? Hysterical and over-emotional, maybe, nasty, no...

We usually have a few overwintering here, but this year is the first I can remember we have some overwintering right in my neighbourhood.

Robins, red-wing blackbirds & eastern towhees have been photographed in NoVA & MD in the last week.

Hello, Spring!

Die winter, DIE!

Robins are not nearly as messy as barn swallows.... But I saw some robins eating crabapples the day after the snowpacolypse! MUST be a sign!

I saw some robins last week in my back yard, too! I cant believe they're this early, but Im trusting that it's a sign for an early spring! We can hope, cant we?!

Robins, towhees, and alaska robins are active. And the Indian Plums are budding and the bulbs are poking their tiny points through the ground

[Kat the Horse]

Yep...Robin was loud and clear in our urban backyard yesterday morning!

A sign that the weather is messed up. Sigh.

P.S. -- If you don't want robin poop, you can get bird/pest netting for fruit trees. As crabapples tend to be small, this should be an EASY project.
