We have had Robins all year long as in years past. I saw my first Buzzard this week on my way to the Cape and work, around south Middleboro. I usually consider them the first sign that spring is around the corner. Robins are pretty commonplace year round on the coast and 20 miles inland it seems. I grow several species of plants that hold their berries all winter, Viburnums, and the robins have just about picked them clean in the last month. Herring are usually seen in my local run, Middleboro, as early as middle of Feb. sometimes. I am sure we will probably see a few seals this far inland soon too.
Here is a great site if you have interest in Herring, eels, Taunton river ,smelt,etc, Scan down the page for the info. Really Nice photos too.
