I don't ever remember hearing the Spring songbirds singing this early. usually they start in late February or early March. We've had a number of 60 and 70 degree days lately. Are the birds just enjoying it like we are, or do they know something we don't?

I hope they just know something we don't.

Weather.com doesn't show temps lower than 38 in the next ten days. I don't expect it to not to be cold but I'm wondering if we will have another freeze, or if the birds know it. January and February being the coldest months I doubt it but the birds have me wondering.
Anyone else hearing them and remember them this early?

It is sure fun to watch it feed.

That is strange! Definitely migratory. I was thinking some of the birds I've been hearing are migratory and here at the wrong time of year. Hmmmmmmm

I was wondering if I was the only one.

I've heard that the long range models say it could cool off to below normal temps again in early February, but of course a lot could change between then and now.

Or maybe hot air from all the LSU fans in town.

Good luck tonight!

we've had migratory Robins blasting through here, and it's not their normal time.....I'm sending them northl because the poop fallout is brutal!

we forget from year to year that our winter is typically sprinkled with spring-like days. It's what makes it interesting around here. When you get cold ass weather, it's perfectly okay because you know it's going to warm up by week's end.
I'm loving all the flocks of ducks on the bayou these days.

Yeah, well, anyway I did notice a robin a few days ago. But I do specifically recall seeing robins on the side of Bay Drive last year about this time and thinking it was early. Who knows.

And I do have photos documenting Dargvader and I wading in the bay last year in early January trying to tether Christmas trees to the bottom, and we didn't develop hypothermia or anything.
