Must be sweet! Yesterday was our warmest day at about 60, but that's a first. We still have ice & snow. Peepers are 2 months away.

Robins are in this little cleft all year. It's neat to see them come up the hill on a warm winter day. The Hummingbird migration (scroll down) is what we look forward to on the feathered side of life to tell us Spring is really here Looks like they'll be in SC and NC in a week or so.freetown fred wrote:Robins & red winged--no peepers yet.

Peepers, I guess you are referring to what is locally known as "Tree frogs" I have a pond 200 yds from my house and they are LOUD!, but really pleasent to hear.

Iv had a stupid robin try to fly through the living room window every morning about 6:00 am (7:00 now) for the past 5 weeks. The first time he did it I was tending the stove and almost had a heart attack.freetown fred wrote:Robins & red winged--no peepers yet.

If you ever have a really big peeper fly through that window, by all means go ahead & HAVE that heart attack. I know I would.

We have little tiny green peepers here & I haven't heard a peep so far maybe they are all learning how to ride the backs of robins so they can get around faster . When they do come out it's kinda nice to be a bit heard of hearing, we get millions of them & that's one of the tones I don't get.

We've seen a few robins so far.... Sometimes it's hard to tell if they are a robin or not... you have to catch one with the zipper part way down on it's fur coat in order to see it's orange belly.

They are getting louder in the pond across the road from me. By mid spring the sound is deafening.

I feel bad for you guys having to wait for spring to hear the peepers. With my Tinnitis I get it year round. it's driving me out of my friggin mind.
