I saw my first robin Tuesday, March 29.
There is a hypothesis that when the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees F the earth worms can migrate up toward the soil surface. This conincides with the return of the robins.
This week the southern slope of Louie's Pond is free of snow. I measured the soil temperature today....50 degrees F!
How neat! Robins returned here last week and then it snowed. They've been hanging out in huge flocks around fruit trees in town trying to find food. Poor little buggers!
