I like the contrast between the still evident reminders of winter with the robin, which all by itself can remind us spring is coming. Good luck with the contest.

This is airy, fresh, and very delightful. Those robins congregating in the yard is a welcome sign that Spring is definitely near. You've done a fine job also with the smooth and seamless rhyme and flow of this. Thanks for sharing this well written work that gives us anticipation for Spring's arrival. Well done!

The appearance of robins is definitely a sign of spring. I like your poem, it is light and airy. It has a good rhyme and meter and reads very smoothly.
Only one word I might change,
"Their call until they all took wing"
change to:
"They call until they all took wing"
I know you probably didn't want to repear the word "they" but it does sound better.

I really enjoyed reading your poem. I too love to watch the robins during winter because it means spring is not far away. This is a great entry for the two stanza poem. Thank you for sharing.

Good job and sure made me long for spring - for freshness in the air - for the earth to dry a bit - we have lakes where the snow was. but our soil is very porous so it dries quickly.
The sign of robins and thrushes is a great thing to look forward to.
