[IRCA] Robins say spring is coming

[Charles A Taylor <MWDXer@xxxxxxx>]

Bob,

Three days ago, I saw a flock of some 12 robins pause next door and 
commence to chow down on some berries from the trees there. Robins are 
supposed to be checked out on the coming of Spring, and NC is not within 
their wintering area.

So perhaps Spring is coming soon. However, we have predicted a 19-degree 
(F) night on Tuesday. Unusual, sub-20 weather in e. NC.

I don't know about groundhogs, or whether the famous/infamous groundhog in 
Pennsylvania observed his shadow, but robins and cardinals have been voting 
for an early Spring down here.
