A large-ish flock of robins ate all the haws on our two hawthorn trees this morning in the Lansing Trails neighborhood. So glad to see that the fruit was consumed by over-wintering birds. That was the plan when I planted these trees last spring.

I determined there were between 80-100. Some were even singing! My theory is, they knew it would be a light winter here, so why head South where there is snow!! -- Sara Jane Hymes On Feb 13, 2025, at 3:05 PM, Donna Lee Scott <d...@cornell.edu<mailto:d...@cornell.edu>> wrote: You may recall that at the 2025 Christmas Bird Count on New Years Day we had a record count of Robins: over 3600 I think was the number! I keep seeing small flocks of Robins here at Kendal. As well as flocks of Brown-headed Cowbirds, along with Starlings.
