The Meadowlarks are back.

Saw a Robin a couple weeks ago.


It's a good sign.

We've had Robins for a couple weeks, no swallows, or Turkey Vulture's

Robins been all around my yard the last 3 weeks.

Breeding pair of geese at the farm.

The robins around here have been establishing their territory's for a few weeks now. Every morning (if not snowing) I'm greeted by one in my backyard ash tree.

A few blue birds and finches showing up, that's a good sign that spring is around the corner

We had a Meadowlark hanging around the feedyard last January.

It will be a week or two before the Robins hit town.

The seagulls arrived late last week right before the storm. Ihope they froze their asses off!

Nice

White people........ sheeeesh

Even with 3 people, wouldn't the ostrich have to be sick or something?

Robins showed up yesterday.

Love me some Tippi Hedren

Phone app called Merlin identifies birds from their sounds and shows them. Kids get a kick out of it.

I heard a Robin 3 days ago while snow fell. It sounded pissed!

Got a pair of ravens out behind the house remodeling last years cottage. I assume samepair. They’re fun to watch.

Link?

Robins showed up a week ago. Saw a few Starlings this past weekend. Hopefully it means better weather soon.

Personal communication

Speaking of Starlings. Oh geeze I hate starlings.


This bugger is still warm. Victim to my newly sighted in 22 mag.

Get em on the ground and put the Fireball to em.

Listen to ‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo’ and ‘The Notorious Byrd Brothers’ regularly

We have Robins off and on all winter, no Meadowlarks yet. The daily freezing rain/snow is keeping the Hummingbirds away

meadowlarks have been coming back for last two weeks, the real indicator for spring is the arrival of our favorite, the vermillion flycatcher, pretty little sounofagun.

Perfect

Canada Geese year round

Bald eagles got back to nesting in January.

Nice. Shoot every single one of them.

.22 mag, for a starling?

Overkill?

Or you just wanted to make sure it was REALLY ded?

I seen the movie when I was a kid. Scared the Hell out of me. Alfred Hitchcock had a dark mind. Be careful what you wish for! In the movie the Birds pecked out the eyes! Off to do a job!

All sorts of flying critters have been returning. Turkey vultures maybe a week back, Actually had an American White Pelican on the local reservoir the other day.

Haven't seen a bluebird around the house yet, expect them soon as I've seen some around town and such. No tree or violet green swallows yet either.

Snow geese still coming north from wherever though. Good size flock came over, really high as this pic was at 4.5x on the phone cam and they still look far away. Must have been a few hundred, didn't even get the whole flock in

Turkeys showed up from the low lands last week. A group of 6 toms.

The next week or so we should get our first cattle egrets. I write it down every year when the first ones show up. The earliest ever was March 25 and the latest was April 7. They only eat live bait so they don't go for cold weather.

Lots of robins back in central ont. already. Just on the line between central & northern area, severn river is dividing line. Saw 1 lone vulture yesterday. GWPGUY 🐾👣🇨🇦

Man...you live in a different world compared to up here.

I saw some finches on my heated birdbath last week, along with a few robins.

Dude. You forgot to tip your hat.

Probably don't tip your waitress neither.

Nah 22 mag; too much gun….ha

If some of the seeds I have planted as an experiment work out, I'll send you some juniper seedlings. 30 years or so, when they get a good berry crop, maybe the robins will hang around all winter like they do here. And you too can have juniper berry schiedt all over everthing in the yard.

No Goldfinches yet

Robbins showed up here about a week ago. The red winged black birds are going nuts here with their mating calls, a beautiful sound. !

Wood ducks are nesting and I have. Pulled. two wren nests out of the grill of my truck

The male redwings are back. The females will be along in a couple weeks. Robins have been here for several weeks.

On my lake in my backyard last weekend on the North 40, lots more coming now, but it isn't really spring until I see the first Robin.

There is water on top of the ice today, thank God!

Heard the first upland sandpiper last weekend. Saw my first scissortail flycatcher too. The first local barn swallow showed up this week tho I saw them maybe ten days back on coastal Alabama (I 10).

Purple martin “scouts”, always the first, showed up early February.

About two weeks from now the big springtime flood of migrant warblers, thrushes, orioles, tanagers etc etc headed to point north will commence crossing the Gulf in huge numbers.
