Neat to keep a log. Thanks for sharing.

About 20-30 years ago it was a big event to see your first Robin of the new year to mark spring. My Dad and I would always keep a close eye out for the first Robin. But in the last 10-20 years, I see Robins year round. Since I am usually out hunting a lot, I see Robins in December, January and February. It's not just 1 or 2 or 3, but sometimes 10-15 feeding together. In my neighborhood, I generally see 1-3 at a time. Still neat to watch them.

Of course, my favorite are the Cardinals. I love seeing them in the snow. I have my bird feeder going every day when we have severe cold or like now, with the ground snow-covered. I'll have 5-50 birds at the same time either feeding or staging in nearby trees. When the grackles come, all heck breaks loose but I step outside and clap my hands and off they go!
