i think it will be a while before i see any here as it was minus 42 celcius here last night

As long as there is food the male robins will hang around. You are seeing birds that never have gone south.

Wife said the yard was full of them on Friday here in central Indiana.Don't know what they are eating with all the snow we have had.

Here in Iowa it was reported last week of 2200 Robins being counted in different parts of Iowa. DNR say not uncommon for some stay around if there are plenty of berries to eat.

Send pictures as you are able - Already seems like a long winter.
Aw, hope it doesn't have anything to do with getting older!

Once in a while we have some overwinter here.... NOT THIS YEAR!

I don't see them in the pictures. I think what you are seeing is some dried leaves that did not drop off last fall.

glennster · Jan 23, 2011

top picture larger tree just to right of center, one bird just below the fork on the left side, second bird just under him to the left. second pic about center kind of in the open area. did a little chasing to try and get a pic.

I know of one shelterbelt that looks like that near here. Every winter you can drive by there and see hundreds of MALE robins, not a single female.

I grew up in Batavia Il, but now reside in Tennessee. I still remember as a kid, the thrill of seeing a Robin. Man, Spring must be right around the corner!! (or not)
