Mine combines a few things. The return of the turkey, ramps and walking into my first morning walk skunk...lol
I have a few skunk that play a who will move first game with me. Luckily yesterdays was a polite one. Angel started for him but I managed to call her back for a collar hold. He then walked toward us to with in 15 ft. and I yelled, Come on!!!. So he turned and walked away. They are pretty things. He was big mainly white with black legs and face with a blk. Spot on his back.

Crazy weather. Rain. Plant shoots start pushing up through the ground. Rain. Start seeing turkeys again. Rain. God awful allergies. Rain. Did I mention rain?
 
Your right about robins,we have a group that stays late into winter in our swamp. It use to be flowering cherry ,but here on the hill they bloom 2 weeks later than the ones a half mile down our road. This amazes me every year.
 
May Apples coming up!!

Multiple things marks spring to me. The first is the arrival of daffodils. They'd always bloom a little bit before Easter at my Grandparents. Second, is that dogwoods bloom. And if the dogwoods are blooming, the turkeys are gobbling. Gobbling turkeys marks the third thing that lets me know spring has arrived. Fond memories of the newness of life with all three. Thanks for giving me a walk down memory lane.
 
First indication is always the forsythia bushes blooming in town. Plums bloom only about a week after that.

That's definitely more summer. I am not at all above some good sightseeing, but all my serious fishing is over by them.

I usually get my first walleye trip in last weekend of March or first of April. That's the start of spring for me. I am not much of a turkey hunter I prefer fishing in the spring but gobbles are the sound of the season along with spring peeper frogs.
