Muriel your so lucky!! I love the robins but we dont have any yet.We went to Ohio for our vacation last year.I really liked it.We went to Zanesville.We also went to the Fenton factory and rode the river boat down there.I hope to visit your state again someday.The one thing I wanted to know was along the thruway in the spring we saw some shrubs that seemed to be wild but had small light purple colored flowers on them.they were not lilacs but I wonder if you know what they were?

darn typos

Finches and Cardinals frolicking in the Northeast today, confused about the weather mess. But, they seemed to be having a blast and not very concerned.

We've had robins galore for the past month, here in snowy frozen northern Utah (Olympics country). They are a sight for sore eyes. Loooove those guys.

Here in Mich we had powdery snow last night and it is cold and blowing. We have lots of birds stay all year but if there are any Robins they sure came too early. Thanks for reminding me - I will put some food out for them.

We had a flock of robins all winter for the past two years(CT). They come to the heated bird bath almost every day. They seem well fed and healthy.
