Robins are Back!

[Nyboy]

There is a robin fluttering around the lawn , spring is almost here. When people are amazed that I have chickens that lay blue eggs I always say so do robins. Funny because everyone knows the color of robin eggs.

Mud and robins... you are well on your way to spring!! I was hoping for blue eggs, but my girls lay green. Still more fun than brown!

Brown ain't bad.......... but I do have to admit I want colored eggs too! To go with my Rainbow Chard, Purple Cauliflower, Blue Jade Corn.......

Green eggs go better with ham

When was that flock of 4 robins, across the road in a walnut trees? Early January?

I haven't seen a robin in several weeks.

Maybe they all took one of those late-winter flights to Hawaii .

i've been wondering if we have a locally traveling flock of robins that never flew south this winter. a few weeks ago i looked out my kitchen window and noticed some oddly colored birds that i hadn't seen before in the trees/scrub/sumac in the backyard. they were ransacking the buds on the sumac and didn't seem to be touching the ground so i didn't realize they were robins! it seems that the most i see them here is late winter into the early summer and then i never see them again for many months. or i just ignore them because they just aren't as pretty or vocal as most birds hanging around my yard.

YEAH, I love spying the 1st robin of spring. But in these parts the killdeer and redwing black birds are better harbingers of spring. Some silly robins try to winter over!

i love robins too. i've heard a few of them recently. they always know what's what when it comes to spring.
only brown eggs here, but i sure love 'em & the girls who give 'em to me.

There's an old train car here that has been turned into a craft shop. Every single spring a Robin makes a nest under the back steps. She's so friendly and doesn't dive bomb anyone that comes to watch the progress of her blue eggs. It's always so fun to see!

I have a rainbow flock here when it comes to feathers and eggs. I get white, cream, brown, chocolate brown, blue, and green eggs from my girls. Egg baskets are always so fun!

I actually saw a mockingbird yesterday! I've never noticed them in winter around here, so maybe it's back for the spring.
