Heard robins and red-winged blackbirds this weekend, seems early for the blackbirds, and killdeer of course, they always seem to earliest birds

A lot of the birds here that stayed are dead bird flu got them near water and the subzero temps killed a bunch of others. We let the hay stand around the house and feed the heck out of them so many survived so far. 
 Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Swarms of Robin's last weekend but I don't think they left in the first place. Saw a few geese paired up and a crow building a nest today. 
 Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Saw a few robins here too. Lots and lots of snow geese moving through. 
 Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Side note, There is a bird app for your phone called Merlin. You can turn it on and it will ID birds by sound. 
 Just the right amount of whelm.
