Back when I was a newspaper reporter, the phones would start ringing the end of February or the beginning of March with people calling in their first sightings of robins. (Yes, that was back in the “old days,” I know).
Anyway, I didn’t call my local newspaper, but I did see a field full of robins two days ago. It was enough for me just to feast my eyes on their bright orange bellies and know that Spring is just around the corner!
