    I haven't seen any Robin's yet this year. When I do, I'll know spring is finally on its way!

    We've got one overwintering every year. I don't know where he lives exactly, but I'm glad to have him. We keep him well fed.

    I noticed several robins in the old plum tree yesterday, always a good sign :-D We've also been noticing the Canadian Honkers pairing up ;)
    My grandma used to tell us that you knew spring was here when the pelicans came home. Haven't seen them yet :-o

    I nearly had a bat landing on me yesterday. That must be a good sign if they're out of hibernation.

    We have a pair of jackdaws building a nest here in Scotland. Maybe they know that good weather is on its way at last. :stew2:
