I've been seeing robins off and on all winter
here in Maine, it's been a long cold winter here so
I wouldn't bet on that robin being an advance signal of
spring.

maybe im just not that aware of my surrounding's but typically I stop seeing them in November and start seeing them again in feb...

maybe they don't migrate and its just a figment of my imagination :D

I agree, that's what I love to see as well!! The first Robins of the year means that spring is getting closer!!!

This weekend was the first robin I've seen, and I have a robin singing outside my window now in western MD. The snow is about 90% gone up here, and here's to hoping we don't get anymore this season.

I am still waiting for a robin to show up here in my area.. To me it is always a good sign of spring, that and along with timberdoodles... I will have to wait it out until after this storm coming in tomorrow that is supposed to give us up to 18 inches of the white stuff..

Alright folks please send us all the robins and timberdoodlers you can.. Along with anything else that can encourage spring to arrive up here.. With all the ice storms we have had to piles of snow we can use a bit of spring here as well. They have been changing our weather now almost hourly.. It has been from snow to mixed to all rain and now back to a lot of snow again with some ares that could recieve as much as 20 inches.. It is still over my knees in the fields and up to mu waist in the woods right now.. We do not need any more until next winter... But, no we are going to get nailed again..

Phil from Maine 03-12-2014 05:16 AM

Alright some one send up as many robins as you can send.. They are now saying this storm that will hit this area this afternoon may be our biggest storm of the season with up to 2 feet or more in some locations.. This is making it hard to think about turkey hunting right now.. On the bright side maybe they will just start to get fired up when our season gets here at the end of April..
