For this first time this year, I heard one robin in full song in my
neighborhood (Seattle). Just passing through, or setting up a
territory? I'll keep an ear out to determine if he's consistently
there over the next few weeks.

I'll reinforce Jerry's observation, there are usually two or
three robin territories within earshot of the back porch.
