For me the spring return starts with the horned larks showing up along the roadsides here early to mid Feb.  Then the other migrants appear one after another thru spring. 
 
  
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

I've spent all morning trying to keep a bluebird from attacking himself in my windows. Haven't seen him in an hour or so, so hopefully he went elsewhere.

No Robins here yet, they would starve. When they first arrive I see them in my crabapple trees eating the berries. Heard a killdeer last week.

Still haven't heard the Turkeys Gobble or the Whipporwills yet. I usually sit outside of a night listening to those Whipporwills. 
 
  
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Side note, There is a bird app for your phone called Merlin. You can turn it on and it will ID birds by sound. It's absolutely amazing.

Geese never left, see them every day.  Robins are back in small numbers and some years I don't believe they ever leave.  See them all winter in the heavy cover and very heavy tree areas.
