Good signs of spring
BowEd:
Lots of crazy spring weather that's for sure.I hope everyone stays safe.It snowed over 12" 150 to 175 miles northwest of me too.We just got rain here then.Which we need.
Robin described the bird to me at first and I know she knows what a cardinal is but this one was different.It's supposed to have been spring here for a while as the old turkey vulture is here some time ago already.
bjrogg:
Yup the turkey buzzards are here cleaning up the deer that didn't make it through the winter. We've still got lots of deer here but they are really getting hungry. I found a dead one behind my barn. They've been on my lawn trying to get something to eat. It's time for stuff to green up.

Darn those Robins are smart :).
There's a few Summer birds that have come up, Robins included, but we are supposed to get 2 days of freezing rain so they may be regretting that decision.
PEARL DRUMS:
We have robins all over now. I say this a slow spring up here, but its probably more usual than the 1 week long springs we had been getting. Like BJ, we had super high winds, sleet, snow and rain that tarted Friday. Today I woke up to about 2" of snow, but the wind is only blowing 15-20 now. Yesterday was spooky, we are surround by woods and I was just waiting for a tree to come down.
BowEd:
We've got a little snow now this morning.It'll be gone in another day or two.Robins have been here for quite some time too and contrary to what some believe they eat more different things than worms.....lol.If they did'nt they would starve.....lol.
