Re: spring and the robins -Reply

Peggy, I'm in north Georgia and I just started seeing robins last 
week.  Of course they could have been hanging around here all winter 
but if they have they've kept a very low profile.  Speaking of 
birds, the hummingbird migration mapping site has already had reports 
of ruby-throateds in Florida.  And there are lots of 
*perennials* that attract hummers!
