We’ve had a few Pine Grosbeaks in the neighborhood for a while now and
they make a call that sounds a little like a Robin, at least to my ear.
Hearing what I thought was a robin this morning I assumed it was a
grosbeak but then it started singing – definitely a robin. It’s a bit
early up here as the snow is still pushing 3 feet deep in the yard. We
also heard a flock of crossbills fly over, the second this week, and
some Trumpeter Swans flew over headed north a few nights ago. Spring is
still a ways off but it’s nice to see some different birds showing up.
