From "Local Drifts," Hobart Gazette, Feb. 2, 1917.
I don't know which was more unusual: that Henry Nolte saw a robin on January 31, or that he made enough noise about it to be heard by the Gazette.
But I suppose after that mid-month cold snap, any possible sign of an early spring was something to crow about.
(These days robins in winter are not all that unusual. And a few times I've seen them myself in Henry's yard on a winter day.)
