I took those photographs at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.
Although normally the American Robin is my harbinger of Spring, it turns out a group of them actually remain in my general area year round. But they hang out closer to the shoreline, where it's a little warmer than inland. There was also what I think was a leucistic American Robin among this group, but I was unable to get a photo of it. Back in 2016, I had photographed a possible leucistic Robin in this general area.

When I worked in Portsmouth I used to see them sometimes as its warmer there. It looks like you have good walking conditions too. We have too much ice. Ugh. Enjoy before it gets really cold again.
Oh, I was getting excited thinking we would be having an early Spring
American Robin is more and more commonly remaining in the north in recent years. They exploit microclimates, and berries are an important food source. I see them here in sheltered ravines and woodlots during the winter, so I assume that the first spring sighting at my house represents a newly arrived migrant.
They are year 'round residents here and always welcome. They even sometimes come to our feeders.
