Robins already!

Robin in Winter

Are the Robins back too soon?

It's February 6, 2011 and there was a large flock of perhaps 80 birds in our backyard.

Can they really survive until spring (or maybe they know something we don't!)?

I don't know, I wonder if any other readers have spotted any "early birds" this year?

My husband heard a Robin singing on Tuesday February 21st.

What a beautiful sound he said!

I saw one this morning Monday February 27th - makes it feel like spring is right around the corner :)

We saw our first Robin of the year on February 19 2012 in Lindsay, Ontario.

It was the only one so far. Theres lots of berries and very little snow cover.

Spotted a very healthy looking one in Finch, just south of Ottawa, there's lots of food available - until the next snow.

Robins seen here too
by: Anonymous

I saw my first Robin in some wetland trails near my home in Waterdown, Ontario, 45 minutes south west of Toronto.

I keep track of sightings of migrating birds and this is the earliest ever.

25 Robins in my backyard, January 13th 2012, in Queensville north of Newmarket, Ontario. I felt so sorry for them with the ground frozen.

Where are they?
by: Lorey Blackmore

Has any one seen any Robins in the Kitchener area?

Hi Lorey - no one has reported seeing any yet, but it is still early and the Robins usually arrive in Southern Ontario at the beginning of March - the ones that have been seen in February and are very unusual.

Huge flock of Robins along Lake Ontario
by: brian

My wife and I were driving along Lakeshore Road today between Port Hope and Newcastle.

We were just west of the Wesleyville Road when we sighted a huge flock of Robins along the ground by the road.

There had to be over a hundred birds there. It was interesting to see this time of year....

Port Credit
by: M MacKay

We have Robins too!

We saw many about 10 days ago in the snow.

Today they are up against our home and we wonder if they are trying to keep warm.

What are they doing here?

I don't know why they are here so early this year and I wonder how they will manage to find food this early, and with this much snow on the ground. If any of our readers have ideas for feeding these Robins, who normally eat worms and such, please let us know. I was wondering if suet would be a good, high calorie food for them? What do you think?

My wife and I saw a whole flock of Robins today beside the Welland canal in St. Catharines!

Thanks for letting us inow - you're not the only ones to see Robins this past week or so - we have had four of our readers report seeing them in the Niagara / Toronto area
