I saw a good half-dozen robins flying around my yard today. I can't recall ever seeing them this early. And it's not like it's close to spring-like weather as we have a healthy snowpack and today finally marks the end of a long period of sub-freezing temps. Anyone else seeing robins, or recall ever seeing them in late January/early February? They seem to be about three weeks early this year for some reason. . .
There must be berries on some trees nearby.

American Robins would not be migrating north this early, but a few of them actually remain farther north, wandering around in small flocks during the winter looking for crabapples and for berries (such as on holly trees).

It's possible your area has become an area in transition with warmer temperatures year around the flocks that inhabit your area may have changed their migratory patterns. I know where I live Orioles and further back Cardinals never used to inhabit it but now I see pairs and males flying around as the winters on average have become shorter and not as harsh.

It's quite a transition if that's what it is, three full weeks earlier this year, seems more like something freakish to me.

I always wonder how birds that stay around here feed and shelter themselves this time of year.

Not seeing robins the last few weeks but it reminds me of about a month ago. We had a huge rainstorm. The next day I saw more robins than I’ve ever seen before. Probably 50-80, all trying to get fresh worms I guess. It was a bit unsettling seeing so many birds in one area. Like something out of the Hitchcock film.

Robins stay hidden in the woods all winter, you just don’t see them unless real harsh weather hits, like what happened in the North East and Atlantic coast recently. Then they will come to bird feeders and people will spot them.

Makes sense, except the ones I see never use my bird feeder, they're just looking for worms all the time and the ground is currently packed with snow. I haven't seen them yet today, maybe it was a one and done.

Jim Rome show was making fun of a massive brawl breaking out at a Pennsylvania Golden Corral when they ran out of steak. I could only assume the racial makeup of the brawlers, so I searched up the video…assumption confirmed.

Most of them migrate south. A few do hang around woodlands where they can survive on berries.

Here's a video on NFL coincidences.

The first one, about Tim Tebow is really freaky. The others, not so much.

Watching the Tebow one is well worth it.

Canada is turning into a communist police state. Trudeau is acting like a communist dictator.

Here an elderly white woman with a walker is trampled to death by Canadian police on horseback.

Thanks EP, but this video should probably be in the Covid thread or some other. It is very disturbing to see and that this is what Justa TurdO wants for his own (mostly White) citizens. He did nothing but coddle BLM burning down the cities. I hope this turns on him. However, these "police" are some of the lowest form of life in the universe. Completely traitorous scum.
Edit: The lady survived but has a dislocated shoulder. The other older man on the ground is possibly still hospitalized with no further news on him.

It should have been placed in the Canadian Freedom Fighters thread.

Thanks for the corrections. I was going by earlier reports I read.

We always want to be as accurate as possible. Otherwise we lose credibility.

I'm a fan of the movie Kelly's Heroes starring Clint Eastwood. Here are some interesting facts about the movie.

Jets assistant coach Greg Knapp was riding a bicycle when he was killed in a collision with a car in September, 2021.

The driver of the car was not identified or charged. This often happens when a white man is the victim of the actions of a non-white.

I could find no description of the accident. The police made a vague comment about driving while being distracted.

You can kill a white man in America with no consequences - if you're non-white. This may be a case of that.

The way it is in modern multicultural cities. You can lie, cheat ,steal, murder. Even if you get arrested, most of the time you're out on bail thanks to Soros and company. BLM supporter shoots a Nation Wrecker politician in Louisville and was out on bail next day.

Honestly, it’s foolish to ride a bicycle anywhere near automobile traffic. U.N. Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development has been subsidizing cities putting bicycle lanes on their roads. Save the planet, but sacrifice a bunch of human road kill.

does anyone else here play wordle? it’s a simple but fun mind puzzle game, where you have to guess the correct five-letter word within six rounds.

if you’ve not played it, i encourage you to give it a try and see what you think.
