Just in time for the blizzard, a whole bunch of robins are flitting around in our front yard. I tossed some of the chicken chow so they’d have something to eat. Stay warm, little guys!

There were at least six robins hanging out in the bushes next to our duck yard this morning. Odd since we’re about to get the coldest and snowiest week or two of the winter … but they’re still the first robins of the year!

Letting the birds out this morning, I saw the first robin of 2024!

I saw the first robin today at 6:10 PM — he was sitting on a power line and singing a song.

I saw the first robins today, but I was not able to get a picture 🙁 A whole flock were perched in the sumac tree along the ridgeline by our chicken coop — I presume pecking through the last seeds still sticking to the tree. They flew away seconds after I registered the colouring and thought “hey, robins!”.

I thought I saw a robin yesterday, but I wasn’t able to get a picture of it. Today, though, we were outside working on the nesting boxes and I saw half a dozen robins in one of the trees. We need to make some suet and get the feeders out!

They’re here!
