Two beloved American Robins among apple blossoms. It must be SPRING. The robin is synonymous with Spring, state bird of Connecticut, Michigan and Maryland, a welcome sight for bird lovers everywhere.

An age-old theory about robin migration says that robins arrive in an area when the average temperature is 36 degree F. Is it accurate? Why not test the theory yourselves?

从“The robin is synonymous with Spring”【robin是春天的同义词】上判断， robin 接近汉语中说的“迎春鸟”。
此外，“ robins arrive in an area when the average temperature is 36 degree F”中所说的温度换算成摄氏温度应该是2.22°C，这应该是春天的温度吧？

华氏转摄氏，用“华氏减去32再乘以9分之5”的方法没错吧？

回答问题倒提了一大堆问题，呵呵呵。
