When I was a youngster (Detroit metro area), we knew it was spring when the robins came back. By the time I went away to college, the robins were gone, killed off by DDT, to which their eggs are particularly sensitive. One of the first things I noticed when we moved to BC was there were robins in the spring! Honestly, a very personal joy. They take all the cherries from my cherry tree, leaving none for me, but I mind not at all.
