    Gosh, carrotop, you heard spring peepers in January? Wow!

    Robins show up here in large flocks in late winter. I have not yet seen them. Last year while I was out walking I saw a huge flock of robins in two silver maple trees. There were so many that I stopped to count them (roughly) -- there were over 150 birds.

    We have cold weather right now, very wintery.  Sometimes we get a little January thaw like you had. 

    I am really looking forward to spring.

    Our robins are a few months away yet.....they always are a sign of spring to me.

    I get so excited when I see them because I know what follows------keep them warm for me

    Hopefully we will  have an early spring........sigh
