There were at least six robins hanging out in the bushes next to our duck yard this morning. Odd since we’re about to get the coldest and snowiest week or two of the winter … but they’re still the first robins of the year!

First Robin of 2024
Letting the birds out this morning, I saw the first robin of 2024!
Tulips are blooming
The old school (like before the Netherlands started selectively breeding them) tulips are blooming!
Purple Crocus Blooms
The deep purple crocus are starting to bloom — and daffodils are popping up all over the place, so we should have all sorts of flowers soon.
First Robin of 2023
I saw the first robin today at 6:10 PM — he was sitting on a power line and singing a song.
Crocus Time
Crocus flowers are starting to sprout up around the yard — years ago, Anya and I planted crocus bulbs randomly throughout the front yard. Some have split into three or four plants already, and some are still single little flowers. We’ve even got some sprouting up elsewhere — maybe they’re spreading seeds too?
First Robins of 2022
I saw the first robins today, but I was not able to get a picture 🙁 A whole flock were perched in the sumac tree along the ridgeline by our chicken coop — I presume pecking through the last seeds still sticking to the tree. They flew away seconds after I registered the colouring and thought “hey, robins!”.
First Robins of 2021
I thought I saw a robin yesterday, but I wasn’t able to get a picture of it. Today, though, we were outside working on the nesting boxes and I saw half a dozen robins in one of the trees. We need to make some suet and get the feeders out!
First Robin of 2020
They’re here!
