Saw a robin today!

I saw the first robin of '07 this morning as I was leaving for work! That makes me happy because it's a sure sign that spring is on the way (even as Chicago gets ready for a week of very cold weather). The days are getting noticeably longer, too! Hurray!

Wow!
I hope no Robbins show up here! They'd freeze their little feathers off!!
It's only 6 here and it's not supposed to warm up anytime soon!

You are dreaming, my girl, merely dreaming......

Well, if we aren't going to get any snow here in TN, then come on SPRING!

WOW! No chance of a Robin around here yet- its sitting in the teens still...

Maybe you better fill the feeder for the robin; I think he got blown off course! Winter has only - finally - started here!

I've gone through more bird food in the past week than in all the past 3 months together, which is very unusual.

Aww how cute,

I seen a robin in the middle of last winter, it had a pure white patch on it it's chest too, pretty rare but beautiful either way.

I saw one hopping up my driveway the day before yesterday. Guess it didn't know about this cold spot that was coming through.

I saw another one today in the same place as I did Monday. He's early, but then again we had such a mild stretch of winter there for awhile. We're going to have colder weather the next few days. I hope spring is not too far away.

I haven't spotted a Robin in sevral week, this is a sure sign of Spring comeing for us. Here in Georgia we get the Robin's during the winter and they fly away when spring starts to come. I can't wait for it to be warm again!

Saw them again today - there are several bushes planted along the guard rail in the parking lot where I work, and in one of them were 3 or 4 robins. I hope spring is on its way!

Since this is a bird thread(sorta), does anyone mind a bird question?

Ok.....do any of you see a bird in your yard called a Painted Bunting? At least I think that's the name. It's a beautiful multi-colored little bird. I have them in my yard occasionally. My sister says I should report the sighting because they are becoming somewhat rare. Can anybody shed some light on this?
