All this talk about spring, so we decided to find some signs. After about 1-1/2 miles we found a robin, a Red Robin. In fact it is the first Red Robin anywhere.
We stopped in for a bite before heading back home. One of the pieces in the restaurant entrance is part of an original sign. In addition to the name of the joint is a robin character, with the baseball cap – and a cigarette.
To make our walk truly Seattle, we got stopped by the drawbridge that is just before the restaurant, going up for a sailboat. On the walk back, in the dark, we could see sculls plying the water.

I’m not so sure I trust robins as a sign of spring anymore. At least not here in St. Louis. I saw robins, plural, on one of the Frostbike rides in January. I don’t think it was the day we rode in the snow, but it was one of the other cold rides, and even in St. Louis, we don’t believe it’s spring in January.

The GG, who is an amateur birder, says that most robins leave for the winter but some do stay around. He noticed quite a few in A2 this winter.
