I have been seeing robins every day this week. It sure is spring
ReplyDeleteThey are resident 12 months but at least they're not as dirty as the Canadian Geese are...
ReplyDeleteanada Geese eat far more than do robins. Higher input=higher output.
ReplyDeleteRobins used to migrate but as the climate changes not only are fewer bird species migrating, but those that do are beginning to do so at different times - and that can disrupt breeding patterns.
If robins stopped migrating, they must have been hiding somewhere. i saw none over the Winter, and I was looking.
ReplyDeletethat's because i shot all the little bastards i could find just to ruin your day
ReplyDeleteIt's usually a good thing to see red breasts. Erin go Braless!
ReplyDeleteARJEN ROBBEN is red hot having scored seven goals in Bayern Munich's last four matches.
ReplyDeleteNine goals in his last five games if you include Robben's brace for Holland opposite England at Wembley Stadium in London ...
I saw my first this past week. They do go south to golf in the winter. I thought it was early for them then I remembered that blizzard we had on St Pats day in the 90's the Robins were here at that point and were congregating on the black parts of the roadways (maybe for warmth).
ReplyDeleteSomething a little more amazing is, yesterday I was biking in and around Jacobsburg State Park, I saw Dandelions blooming. I know this is about a month early, as one of my friends makes wine from them and she always collects them the 3rd week of April. I really love this weather and didn't miss the cold or snow this winter , however I hope it isn't a portent of extreme climate change. If it is get ready for 90* in May.

ReplyDeleteOne of Ron Angles properties in UMBT has hundreds of robins in the winter time. This land has warm springs that draw them to this food plot.
ReplyDeleteIf he did not buy it, this land would have been all built on.
