spark949 24 #1 Posted February 24, 2016 I actually saw a robin fly across the road (Simsbury Ct) over the weekend.Real early for them I thought. He must have been lost. Anyone else see one up here in New England? I know Im not crazy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,189 #2 Posted February 24, 2016 We have some robins that stay the winter here. When the red wing black birds and turkey buzzards arrive' we know it is over. But you are further north than I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,826 #4 Posted February 24, 2016 Saw a couple here in Albany NY area a few days ago. I recall mentioning to my peer at work that I hoped it was a harbinger of warm weather soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,940 #5 Posted February 24, 2016 We have a tree in the courtyard at work that has a robin living in it year round for the past 12 yrs that I have been there. i'm sure it's not the same bird but there is always one in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 586 #10 Posted February 25, 2016 I had 4 Robins here last week. They don't generally stay here. At least I have never seen it. These poor guys were probably thinking, "Why did we follow this clown". It has been warm here so I am pretty sure they went to hang at TERRYM's house once they figured niether shynon nor I were gonna feed em'. Spring is coming though. I saw my first raccoon taking a dirt nap on the side of the road yesterday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,806 #11 Posted February 25, 2016 It's been said the Robins will stay north year round if there is food. Not here .....still been colder than a witches tat in a brass bra! Cards are singing a bit tho so that's a good sign... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully spring can't be far away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #13 Posted February 26, 2016 We were in Lancaster County PA last week and passed a house with at least 20 Robins in the front yard. They don't migrate, they winter in the thickets eating berries and such. A fairly warm sunny day brings them out in the open. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,528 #14 Posted February 26, 2016 I have seen Robins all winter long ( on sunny days mostly ) for the last several winters. Guess the crazy weather has them confused also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spark949 24 #15 Posted February 27, 2016 Ive never seen them around here in the winter, and Ive been around a while now. To me, It's a sign that spring is coming. I did see anoyther one yesterday in Redding so I'm hoping it'll get warmer in the next week or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
