A "Fat Robin" true sign of impending Spring

It may seem hard to believe but it was just a week ago and we were severely under the snow gun. At Schoolhouse Farms we picked up at least 2 feet of snow. The central New York grey seemed omnipresent and the idea of spring a distant reality.

Fast forward a week and the sun is shining and bird activity is everywhere. We were squinting out our window when we spotted a really "Fat Robin" and actually got the impression we had turned winters corner and might just be heading into the next season! This may be a slow and not terribly steady march but we will take it however and whenever it happens.
