February 26: Bastrop, TX (30.16, -97.27)
They moved in, ate all the
hackberry berries, tanked up on water and left. About an hour later more
robins
showed up.
I have
never
seen
this
many robins before. >>
February 24: Roswell, GA (34.05, -84.39)
Huge migration of robins at
our creek in front of our house. We are so blessed to enjoy this huge
flock
of
hundreds of
robins
as they
come to rest on the loblolly pines and to drink and take bird baths in
the Willeo creek. There is much bird song. It sounds like a zoo! . .
.Today is the following day and they are still here making a rukus
and taking
bird baths. We are really enjoying this event! >>
February 23: St. Petersburg, FL (27.77, -82.64) Large flock of one to two hundred. Approximately 11:00 ET, temperature of 60 degrees, sunny, dry. Birds settled in a noisy bunch in a stand of pine and Brazilian Pepper. Berries are very ripe this time of year, and abundant. Birds acted voracious in feeding, clearly frenzied. >>
February 20: Morrison, IL (41.83, -89.97)
Saw six Robins at my water
dish Saturday morning the 21 of Feb. I have a large plastic plant dish
with
a electric
warmer and
they were all standing on the side drinking. All morning they took turns
drinking. This morning they were back until the squirrels chased them
away. We recently had a snow storm with winds and about 4 inches of snow.
Temps about 12 degrees. >>
February
19: Troy, TX (31.16, -97.26)
We have a large backyard water garden with
a pond
and stream. This morning we had dozens of robins migrate in...they
seemed
to find a
lot to eat in the stream water and in the grass. They were joined after
a short time by a large flock of grackels, but the robins didn't give
up their water rights. >>
