I just looked out my dining room window and I have a backyard full of Robin's. Seems early for them to be here.

Haven't seen any. Did see bluebirds the past few days, one this morning. Mega blackbirds have been making their home here the past few weeks.

There isn’t much cold air to work with according to our local meteorologist. He says there will be a cold snap here and there for a few days followed by a warmup and showers/storm, rinse and repeat but nothing like an Arctic air mass and that’s the pattern he is seeing for the next month or so at least.

Seemed awful early to me as well. I been seeing several around here as well and got to thinking I'm not sure they ever left. I'm seeing a whole lot more cardinals and bluejays than normal as well. Usually see quiet a few throughout the winter but seems like they have been here in swarms this year

There were 7 male blue jays in my front yard this morning as I had coffee digging around and I believe I saw one find a grub of some kind.

It's blew hard and turned cold last night I wouldn't be surprised if they were heading back south again!
Sandhill Crain's were lousy last night heading south.

Most robins head south and return mid to late February but some stick around through the winter. Rare to see a big big flock right now. The ones that stick around tend to hold up in thick brush/woods till it starts warming up. Cool birds. I’ve had one building a nest on the gutter next to the garage for the past few years. She’s a better parent than some people I’ve met.

No robins yet but a bunch of Bluebirds which we haven’t had in the past. Plan on building a bunch of birdhouses next week.

Seems like there have cranes around all winter. Seems late to be going south.

Saw a red wasp day before yesterday. Saw a strange little black bee or fly, as well (landed in my hair). Seen a few stinkbugs emerge. Seen two crickets hopping around on the grass. Seen a few ants. Seen tons of songbirds. Seen one red bellied woodpecker two different days here recently (heard him, first, and he is a big one). Heard frogs two different nights 🌙

I rarely notice any of our birds leave during the winter. We have Robins galore as well. I see a few more cardinals than usual.

We had a bear on our porch pulling down bird feeders New Year's Eve. They are pesky critters.
