Title: American Robins, Wind and Snowy Milton
Post by: Napper on December 23, 2022, 12:40:43 PM

Hey!
Just now I was out front spreading ice melt on the driveway with the dog when for the second time today I heard and then spotted two American Robin's. These Robins didn't seem to be affected at all by these gusty winds as they flew by. I realize that some Robin's overwinter in this area if they have adequate food sources, is still a surprise when you see them in Winter conditions.

Happy Holiday's

I get large flocks of them in my cedar bush every winter...I rarely actually see them but if I walk into the bush, they start with a cacophony of angry chirps....I usually run back out...I get visions of being swarmed or pooped on.
