See them here all the time. Robins don't really migrate like most birds do. they simply move around to where there is abundant food. Zone 5, Il.

Hi Kate,

I hear you... we're sooooo ready for Spring here too. And we're not so far south of you so we offer you hope. :)

Here are a few Robins for you while you're waiting:

I know photos aren't the same as having your Robins return... but I hope you enjoy these, and that your own birds will be singing their Springtime songs for you soon. :)

Hi all... I replied to a message I recieved in my email and I thought the reply would be posted on this board, but I see it is not here. If it does turn up, forgive the double post..... "Gosh I had no idea that this (my original post) would cause a bit of "fuss" if I can use that word and no one gets upset. I just thought that a swap might be done, (and) that it was not too early to "think" about doing it and would host no problem becasue I had the time. Someone else suggested I might want to take over another persons. Let me say I am not looking to step on any ones toes, and certainly would rather start "my own" if it takes the hassel out of things, so to speak due to my original posting. I just kinda feel if there are folks that want to think about doing a swap now, and want to swap with me and others that I would host, because I am retired and have the time. Nancy. PS... I might add I don't look at this as being "my own", it is just a figure of speech. I am happy to join a swap, if some one else wants to host it. Or I can put in the time and do it. It really makes no difference to me. I don't think there should be any feelings of toes being stepped on or hurt feelings. We are not children right? If someone has shown they are responsibe and can do this fine, if however another person starts one, a person should not be offended. At some point in our lives we all want to "step up and be noticed" I think in one way or another. And this is a way for some folks to have that notice, and there is nothing wrong with that. The thing that is honorable in the effort, is the "carring it thru to the end (or till the seeds come up.. hee hee..)", not many of us can do that. So, as far as I am concerned... I have seeds and if there is a round robin, called Winter sow or "put it in the ground and grow it"... I don't much care. I am simply interested in a swap. Have a nice day all.

Iam in zone 5 in Indana. It sounds like we have about the same lay of the land. Check my list and see if you see anything that interest you. I want to get a pond going here and would be interested in some of your water plants. Let me know if you are interested. Susan

Kate,
Hopefully you'll see one soon. Mine have just begun to sing their spring songs!(Though I see them all winter) Just this week I've heard the Mourning doves-my favorite. Earlier, maybe a couple of weeks ago I heard the first cardinals. Towhees do their chewink off & on most of the winter. White throats say "Ole Sam Peabody, Peabody Peabody" all winter, too. The meadowlarks are singing as well. Some folks liken their song to "Spring of The year" but I can't quite make that fit mine! Oh and the carolina wrens are singing instead of just fussing at me! So, spring is almost here!

I've been seeing them here in MA also, they've been around off and on through the winter months. One day I'll see a large flock of them in my neighbors flowering crab apple tree and then I won't see any for a week or so and then a bunch of them will show up in my back yard and hang around for a day or so.

I was amazed when I first saw them back in early January, thinking that Robins migrated and didn't hang around through the winter, but I was wrong. I too want the Spring to hurry up and get here, this winter has been much too long!

I haven't seen Robins all year in Ohio. But last week I saw the first one up in a tree. The next day I saw 4-5 in the yard so I know they are back to stay. My guess is that Pa. will be the next stop so they should be back soon Kate.
