I just saw a pair of robins this morning in NW Ohio. Anyone else see any yet in the Northern areas?

I am glad you brought this up. I saw Robins three weeks ago in our back yard. It was about to snow. I could not believe my eyes. Thirteen of them. I always thought they were a sign of Spring. So I wrote my friend who is a "bird photographer" and somewhat a nature expert. He told me the Robins are around all year round. I don't know whether to believe him or not. Crazy! He is not into foolin' me so I am about to check it out with another source. I live in the woods on a mountain in Western MD if that helps.

I haven't seen any yet. I always worry about what they will eat since it is too cold for worms!

I live right on the lake in north-central OH and I've seen them all winter. Most never leave.

Robins are here year round in southern Mo. I'm sure they will be as happy as I will when spring comes though.

They are here year-round in SE PA. This time of year is when they start eating from the winterberry holly; the ground is snow-covered so they're unable to forage their usual delicacies.

I was so surprised the first time I saw one during winter. Many years ago I don't remember seeing them until spring. I did a little research and found this about robins wintering. This is in Michigan.
