Super User *Hootie Posted March 9, 2017 Super User Posted March 9, 2017 For me the first real sign of Spring is when I hear that first lawn mower fire up. That signals to me, Winter is officially over. I don't care what the weather does after that. Hootie 5 Quote
Mumbly Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 You speak the truth Hootie!! People say that when Robin's first appear is the first sign of spring. We had 5 Robins in our garden Tuesday, then 2 inches of snow Tuesday night and our lakes are still iced over......... 2 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted March 9, 2017 Super User Posted March 9, 2017 For me, the first sign of spring is being able to step outside without getting ticked off due to cold/snow/ice. 2 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted March 9, 2017 Super User Posted March 9, 2017 I always track the return of the Robins here. Always that first day each year when they seem to just suddenly appear by the dozens out of nowhere. Back in 2008 it was Feb 28. This year March 02. Always pretty close to the same date regardless of weather. 2 Quote

Let's see...robins, but they can be seen during winter, too. That leaves - SPRING PEEPERS!!! Music to my ears when driving at night by waters with my windows down.

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted March 9, 2017 Global Moderator Posted March 9, 2017 We have some resident robins and geese but have seen more than usual here in Michigan the past week or two. I've also seen a ton of red winged black birds and sand hill cranes are back, the one that did it for me Tuesday morning was I saw a frog of all things jumping around by my house, so I know we're close! With that said...2-4" of snow Monday! ? 2 Quote

Robins are here year round. They winter over in the swamps. Make that some Robins stay year round. Some do migrate. 2 Quote
