Year round bird now

There was a time when Robin's left the area for the winter months. It seems they stick around year round now which means I'll miss the excitement of spotting the first one of the spring.

Great Backyard Bird Count day 3

I spotted this American Robin in the tree yesterday. Seems they haven't left the area this winter so now I won't have the thrill of the first Robin of the spring.

I'll report the following species for today: American Goldfinch, Bluejay, Carolina Wren, Common Grackle, Dark-eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, European Starling, Field Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal, Song Sparrow, and Tufted Titmouse.

Love the Robin

Robin in a tree

I usually see Robin's on the ground but this one was content sitting in this tree for quite some time yesterday morning.

Oh happy day

A favorite day of mine is always the day I see my first Robin of the year. Well, yesterday was that day! I watched it feeding in the yard all morning. It also showed up in time to be counted in the Great Backyard Bird Count. It won't be long until Spring now.

Sign of spring

The weatherman is talking about more winter weather by next weekend. I won't let that worry me though with Robins in the neighborhood now.
