My mother has informed me that twice in the past week she has seen a bunch of robins, once in someone else's yard and the second time in her own. So spring must be around the corner, right? Well, the internet seems to have squashed that old wives tale. Maybe. Apparently American Robins stick around throughout the winter but aren't seen unless you're in the right place to see them. Their diet changes from the earthworms to berries so they move location to forests and wooded areas rather than your yard. When they return to yards, it means they are once again able to search for food there, so the earth is no longer frozen. Which sure sounds like a sign of spring to me.
