Was out side putting wood in the outside wood boiler and low and behold here comes 2 robins landing in a tree not far away. Must be spring on Puckaway.

What he said!
February 18, 2014 at 3:15 pm #1389697I’ll give you a sure sign of spring. The snow is melting off my roof creating a deadly deadly surface on my front walk way. I hope nobody comes to our front door for a few weeks……I threw in the extra deadly because its cone shaped so there no way you can walk on it without slipping.
I’ll give you another clear sign of spring. I cant put a 12 pack on the porch this afternoon to make it acceptably cold.

X2 hundreds of them, the winter at our place near Pine Island MN in the crab trees, I’m guess they survive eating all the berries.

I think it is areas that have a lot of crab apples that will hold them through out the winter, however when they start migrating we see them in areas they weren’t during the winter. So it is a sign. A sign that next week a lot of robins will be dying of hypothermia.

Out here in South Dakota, we have seen a herd of robins every day! Along with deer, turkeys (besides the ones I am with!) more rooster pheasants than you can shake a stick at, and we are serenaded by coyotes at night, as well as this morning about 10! And it just keeps getting better!February 18, 2014 at 9:50 pm #1389792Quote:

Wow Really? They must all be hanging out in your yard Tom we have not seen any yet.
February 18, 2014 at 11:47 pm #1389798Lots of Robins hanging out around the springs coming from below the Alma dam along the finger lakes in January. Did not see any on my last outing there in February though.
February 19, 2014 at 6:41 am #1389815Food & fresh water – any area that has these two ingredients will hold robins all winter.

You need to get out more Steve. Along west circle drive where all the crabapple tress line the streets the robins are as common as hair. I’ve had robins at the feeders when I put cranberries and raisins out. Memorial Parkway is another place we see robins hanging out in the crabapple trees.
We’ve seen the robins in Country Club Manor thru the winter this year too.
I’ve had between 15 and 25 mourning doves come to the feeders each day all winter long too.
February 19, 2014 at 8:18 am #1389840I have a neighbor with a large Cottonwood tree in his back yard along the park property and maybe 75 to 100 robins sat up there for the last 5 minutes and then just continued on to where ever they were going.
