I finally managed to get a photo of a Robin in our trees.
Spring might be here!
We had a busy Sunday...grocery shopping, some cleaning, some laundry and we each had our own projects.
We only have one medical appointment this week...so far. Practically a vacation!
Our weather was mostly cloudy with a high about 60 F. Not bad for mid April!

First Robins In Our Yard that I photographed!

It's so cute. Around here I like to spot the red robin.
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing robins in the past couple of weeks, but overall our bird population seems kind of low around here. I keep wondering if bird flu is the issue, or if they just aren't hanging around our feeders.
ReplyDeleteKeeping records of robin turns shows a trend.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a robin as early as mid-March, but it is generally in April too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting a short break from the doctor appointments.
I saw a couple wrestling each other in the forsythia bush this morning. Would have made a great picture, but I didn't have a camera with me
ReplyDeleteI love the robins! We had wonderful weather this weekend and I hope Spring is finally here to stay
ReplyDeleteHow neat for you to keep the record for when the robins first appear. I need to do this with our little hummers. Saw our first one yesterday.
ReplyDeleteRobins are so hard to photograph. I must admit that I had to look up Phenology. A new word to me 🐦🐦🐦
ReplyDeleteOh, how nice to see that robin in the tree. We have sure got plenty of them around here these days. To me, they personify spring.
ReplyDeleteHave a good vacation!
ReplyDeleteI hope your spring has arrived. You winter goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteI saw two of them together yesterday. Dark windy chilly day today. But supposed to be warmer starting tomorrow. Enjoy your days off! :)
ReplyDeleteOh good for you! I haven't seen a robin yet.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go back and look to see when we first saw them the past few years!
ReplyDeleteI've also seen them stay in our valley over winter which was amazing!
We get robins but only on their way up north. I love them and that was a great photo. I learned a new word...phrenology!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about appointments!
