Or do robins not posess groundhog-like powers?

They were all parked under one of my neighbor's trees, eating little orange berries off the ground. I thought "That must be some good $%!+" but it was too cold to get out of the car and check.

4. I think a metaphorical one

3. Well, officially spring arrives later this month......
March 21st or so, IIRC.....

So these guys might be the early harbingers of Spring!

I don't know, though, for sure.....
