Likewise, 10-15 robins in flying around and perching in the forest trees and bushes on the east side of Westhaven Road (West Hill) behind the houses. They were curious, sometimes perching quite close to where I was snow-shoeing. Also lurking high in the trees were 3 Cedar Waxwings and the

Same here. Quite surprised to see so many robins here (in Geneva) with so much winter left yet to come. Although I noticed what drew them: my neighbor has a berry tree that they are gorging on. Fun to watch them take the berries up to the roof of my garage and feast, then wash it down with water

Hi Carol, all- Over the past decade +, America Robins have been spotted in all states except Hawaii in all months of the year. Rather than a strict north/south movement, Turdus migratorius lives up to its scientific name (migratorius = wandering) and tends to winter where there is abundant

Many years ago while visiting my uncle in Bonita Springs, Florida - about this time of year - Robins were eating some black berries. The bushes were along the yard and as I watched the Robins some of them would flop to the ground, try to get up, stager and eventually be able to hop off or fly.

I noticed robins, not in large flocks but a few, around our place in Lansing. They hadn't been in evidence for most of the winter so far. The birds I saw were foraging in the few areas of open ground--mostly under parked cars--free from the recent snow cover. My guess was that the recent snows
