I would think not. We have groups of robins all winter. Horned Larks only appear in the winter. A few Yellow-rumped Warblers always overwinter.
Savannah Sparrows mostly disappear in the winter but this year there have been flocks remaining in the Grand Pre area.
Hairy Woodpeckers drumming may be out of the ordinary although they are present here all winter.

Subject: [NatureNS] Harbingers of Spring True or False
On this next to last day of January, are any of the following observations, along the Northumberland Strait, a harbinger of spring?
1. A flock of 22 American Robins flying along the shoreline in Doctor's Brook
2. A flock of 15 Horned Larks along a roadside ditch in Knoydart
3. A Yellow-rumped Warbler flitting in spruces on Big Island
4. A Hairy Woodpecker drumming every 30 seconds in the early afternoon on Big Island
5. A Savannah Sparrow (not Ipswich subspecies) foraging in the roadside gravel on Big Island
