Which would verify the science that the environment is warming . . . . which
allows birds such as robins to overwinter here now. It hasn't been uncommon
for 5-8 years in the Cities.
Quoting Mary M White / Charles R Neil <[email protected]>:
But isn't it true that large numbers of over-wintering robins in the Twin
Cities is a relatively new phenomenon? I am now 67 and grew-up in St. Paul,
and it seems to me that very few robins overwintered when I was a boy.
There were likely many fewer Twin Cities Christmas counts in the 1950s and
60s, but my guess is that a review of those counts would show that
over-wintering robins were rare at that time.

Robins regularly overwinter, sometimes in large numbers. Counts in the
hundreds have been recorded on area Christmas counts. As long as the
crab apples hold out you will see them in your yard. I have seen a few
this past week.

Still large numbers of Hooded Mergansers present with Lesser Scaup,
Ring-neck Duck, two swans, a hybrid Mallard, kingfisher.
