Thanks for sharing the posts who also counted and the linkage, my friend. We love seeing and feeding our feathered garden friends. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-66603552874176525392011-02-24T20:49:12.913-05:002011-02-24T20:49:12.913-05:00This was our third year participating and it's...This was our third year participating and it's always so much fun. This year we had no unusual visitors either. We also saw quite a bit of Robins. They are here year round too, but really start showing up more towards the end of winter. We've had snow the last couple of days so I think they've gone back to their hiding spots for now.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-37141859107733816922011-02-24T15:58:30.677-05:002011-02-24T15:58:30.677-05:00We usually have robins year-round, too, Kylee, alt...We usually have robins year-round, too, Kylee, although this year I hadn't noticed many until about a week or two ago. My bird count tally was rather disappointing--I don't know if the warmer weather we had last weekend had something to do with it or if it was the hawk that kept circling the front yard. Still, it's fun to join others in participating in this count.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-45857366132828109362011-02-23T22:15:44.405-05:002011-02-23T22:15:44.405-05:00Neat stuff!

I'm not sure that the robins have ever been a good indicator of spring's arrival. The redwing blackbirds are year round down here too. I saw one this afternoon.<br /><br />P.S.

And yet for me as well it's the red-winged blackbirds that mean spring--and I've seen my first ones just this week. It's supposed to snow tomorrow.Benjamin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661489036836711335noreply@blogger.com
