They sure are large birds. I have seen a lot of robins on the way to town today but only one on our property as it landed quickly and left. No grass showing here. The heavy rain for tomorrow will bring down the snow a lot. I love to hear the killdeer when they arrive.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-55392648108817110042014-04-07T13:32:20.679-04:002014-04-07T13:32:20.679-04:00We never see the sandhill cranes but the other two...We never see the sandhill cranes but the other two birds we do see often.

I have Chickadees, Nuthatches and Woodpeckers year round. I wish I knew when to look for their young..sometimes I see smaller versions but not until later in the summer.
