We don't see robins much at all here, but when we do, they are almost always in flocks. Having grown up with the excitement of one or two robins heralding the arrival of spring, to see a couple of dozen robins suddenly descend on our yard is always a thrill. If these robins are working their way north, I think they're a bit premature. But they sure had fun eating the berries off our trees.
The pictures don't do the sight justice (a video would have been better), but you can see them a little better by clicking on the images.
I'll make the same comment I made on Facebook.
I've already seen robins. Spring? Not with 3+ feet of snow and another 4-8" on the way.
Thanks! I let Facebook pick up my posts because there are some people who are interested but don't generally read my blog, but it is sometimes frustrating to have comments there and not here.
I guess the robins are definitely mixed up. Could you send some of the snow to Vancouver? I hear it's been raining on the Olympics.
This was a post from one of the bloggers I follow. She also saw flocks of Robins (in CA).

Maybe our robins had been north already, saw the snow, changed their minds, and turned around.
