Robins!

   We saw a couple flocks of robins yesterday. I saw more today. Last year and the year before that, I saw them in January. Strange, since the last 2 years were much colder than this year. So far. It's only February.
   I have 3 theories; does anyone know why they come so early?
1. They're crazy.
2. They are from far north and are still migrating south.
3. They are juveniles (males?), coming to stake out territory before their mature counterparts come. (The robins which I have seen clearly have white spots on their tails. Also, their chests are a duller red than those of mature males.)

If anyone knows, PLEASE comment.
