Re: [cobirds] Melody of first 2021 Meadowlark

I love your early spring (late winter) reflections. The first spring singing Meadow Lark is for me an annual milestone.

Yesterday (Sunday) while walking the perimeter of my yard one mile west of Severance,  I heard the sweet melody and then saw the first meadowlark of 2021.  What a welcome sound and appearance!

Also, it's not usual to have robins in our yard all winter long, but it is unusual to have a robin in the feeder.  We have a robin(s) picking out raisins from the mix.  Seeing their craving for fruit, I have been dicing up over ripe grapes and bruised apples.which they are eating.  They won't touch mealy worms which the juncos, chickadees, jays eat readily.  I have observed in years past, that the robins aren't yet in the Spring eating mode of filling their crops with the worms.   No need for a Groundhog--the robins in our yard let us know when it is Spring.
