Welcome! The spring 2009 robin migration is just around the corner! While more robins are staying in wintry places (see the maps above), their joyous spring song still gives them an unbeatable claim to fame as favorite harbingers of spring. We're glad you're here to welcome them, and to make new discoveries about robins in changing times. Why do you think we have 3 different maps? What do you notice about the location of those yellow stars? The answers will soon unfold. But first, it's time to take the robin roll call! |

Where are robins spending the winter of 2009? Let's take attendance and find out. Please join our Winter Robin Round-up Feb. 3 - 17! Here's what to do:
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. Then report your results by February 17 by clicking the word "Sightings" on the navigation bar at the top of this page. Together we'll all answer the question as you each help make our Winter Robin Round-up Map —starting NOW. Read on to find out how.

the temperature difference between the air and the bird’s
heart and lungs? >>
