Signs of Spring...Robins

Hello Sherrir! There was a news that plenty of birds reached our capital city, Manila city, a separate island from ours. Seeing the birds flocked to us this year, I felt its a good news, as I recalled the biblical history after the flood, a bird was sent to check the earth. Birds in flocks are now visiting places! This is rare to us. Either their home habitat was disturbed, but to the place they visited, it is a good sign. We are honored to have them as our visitor for several days.

I have been seeing plenty of robins in my area. I have always heard, too, :) that it is a sign of spring. I have also seen lots of buds on trees, and heard a whiporwhil (sp?) I am so ready to get out and on the trails for walking! Are you?

I have been seeing Robins since last week. I always get happy when I start seeing them. This has been a long winter, I am looking forward to spring. If only this snow would leave and not keep coming back.

I never had a robin here but yes I did hear that expression and it stands to reason, these birds are rarely seen in the winter I think

No Robins here havent seen any since I moved here . we have Doves wrens and ravens and a song bird I thinnk is a mocking bird

That is what I was told when I was growing up...My youngest sister's name is Robin...so we used to call her Bird...*smiles*..I have seen a few of them, and some blue jays, and a squirrel...oh, I almost forgot....we have like a dozen cardinals....

I have not seen any here yet. It is supposed to be in the 50's and 60's all week. They should be seen here soon, I would think. I am sure ready for spring.

We have seen many robins this year. I wonder how they survive this cold weather. Earlier this month I watched a chubby robin as it perched in a crabapple tree and sought shelter from the snow. It looked cold sitting there on that branch.

Here it is when I hear the Birds sing first thing in the morning that tells me that Spring is here Up until last year I had never seen a Robin and I was amazed at the beauty of the Bird I really was He sat on the ground for a while and I was watching him while Gissi was wondering about he was a beauty

I know Ive been seeing alot of robins in my yard too. I was told the same thing.LOL Another sign is the firsethia bush blooms. Thats the big yellow bushes. They look so pretty.

I have never heard of this before. I think robins are pretty to see though. I am glad that spring is coming. I'm just not a big fan of summer.

I love robins! I love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and sunlight streaming through the window. Those are some of the nicest memories I have of childhood, just waking up to the crisp sunlight and the sound of birds 'talking' to each other. I have not seen any robins in my part of town, but I have seen them on the other side of town in my parent's backyard. My mom loves to look out the window and see them bouncing around. To me, a sign of spring is when the Bradford pear trees start to bloom. They are everywhere around here! I have one right in front of my apartment building, and the blooms just float off the branches. It's so pretty you don't even mind that is gets in your hair on occasion. : )

Well, our jonquils have popped up in their lovely bright daffodil yellow! and the iris greenery is emerged and growing.... and I am beginning to see Cardinals everywhere oh and the Swallows are back. In the wee hours of the morning I am hearing the song birds.... but strangely enough I have yet to see my first robin this year.

I haven't seen one yet. But it is early in spring, and it is still really cold here. Maybe they are trying to keep warm,lol.
