At least one has showed up, today, sitting on the light pole to stay out of the mud and ice. We’ve been getting more robins in the past few years; some people claim they never leave.

Robins elsewhere seem to be the species that keeps West Nile virus around for the mosquitos to swap out with people. I have been surprised that we don’t yet have WN. On the face of it, the birds would certainly have brought it with them from California.
