Getting Started: Where Are Robins in the Winter?

Where are robins spending the winter of 2007? Let's find out! Go outside and look for robins. Ask your neighbors if they have seen robins. Contact your friends and relatives in other parts of North America. Ask everybody you know to help you look for robins!
