Highlights:
Most
of the new sightings are coming from northern Canada and Alaska
this past weekend. While the snow and ice are slowly begining to
melt, the North is beginning to come alive with the first migrants
and other signs of spring.
In
the lower part of the robin range, robins on territory have started
their nesting rituals. Sighters are reporting excitement over the
first hatchlings of the season! What's happening in YOUR schoolyard?

Investigate:
2 Robins Stopped to Rest... |
|
|
|
Two
robins stopped to rest during migration one morning in my neighborhood.
These
two robins let me watch them for fifteen minutes! They
hopped from branch to branch and tree to tree, but never flew.
During
this time I learned so much about robins! What can YOU learn from
studying the pictures I took?
