Not really a gardening question.... about birds.

[femmocrat]

I couldn't find a suitable forum for this question, but are there any birders here? This kind of ties in to the change of seasons, though!

I am hearing more birds singing now! Does anyone know which bird makes three tweets ---- "tweet, tweet, tweet," very clearly? It pauses, then repeats. I tried searching but wasn't successful.

I am in western PA, but I also heard this same bird song when I was in southern VA. I hope it is a sign of spring? Thank you!

3. Might be an Eastern bluebird.

They are now looking for nests and one hearty male might be yearning for early love.

7. Oh, I sure hope so.

They will be such a welcome sight.

6. Have you noticed any Robins hanging around?

8. Not yet.

We get them in early March. They might be early since it was a mild winter, though. Have you seen any yet?

9. Its one of the call songs of a robin.

Three fast short tweets then a pause.

10. Really? Wow!

They are really early this year! We have about 8 inches of snow today. No one is chirping today.
Thanks, that is great news!
