First sightings - Robins, Narcissus and Bluebirds

I travel between Zones 6b and 7a several times a week, so I can often predict what's coming for Hampshire County at least one week in advance.

Last week I saw  American Robins (Turdus migratorius) and Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) in the city.  On a long walk on Saturday in Hampshire County I saw the first robin, many daffodil leaves, and another member of the thrush family, Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis).  


This morning along the South Branch, there were robins and bluebirds everywhere.
