Was warm-ish today (for February - 35F - no wind), so i went out in the yard for awhile, even did a little gardening (well, pruning, at least). The day wasn't as gray as this picture looks, we even had some sun coming out. This was a little thicker cloud cover for the moment, so this is a very wintery looking picture, a bare tree with one lone bird sitting at the top.
But, wait a minute - that birdsong doesn't sound like a Crow or Starling.......could it be...?
Yes, it's the first Robin i've seen this year! Yay! We always take this as a sign that Spring is coming soon. Isn't always reliable, however - there have been many instances when the first of these birds show up a day before a huge snow or ice storm, poor things!
Still, it's great to see our Robins back again! :o)
