After I posted about the Robin in my neighborhood, quite a few more showed up.
Now they are all gone.
Seems they were part of a rather late migration.

I haven't seen any robins yet, but I've seen lots of red-winged blackbirds.

I see really large flocks of robins in early February.....30 to 40 of them.....I dont know if they are early arrivals or moving down from Canada (I live in southern Maine).....like I say I see them en mass...and then they are gone until spring really arrives. The flash of red in the winter is exciting.

When we lived in St Lucie County, FL, thousands of them would stop on the way each fall and Spring, and spend a day or two loading up on bugs and worms.
It was the only time we would see them.

When we lived in Arkansas, we would see them from around late April until some time in October.

Here in Colorado, they seem to be just passing through on the seasons, also.

I've already seen some weeds starting to grow. Guess that means spring is just around the corner.

Thought I saw leaves budding out on a tree, but it was just the mistletoe. Shouldn't be long though.

You've heard of a helping hand? Sometimes a baby elephant needs a helping trunk.
