Thirsty Robins Shared a Drink in Virginia

"They discovered my heated bird bath and I photographed 8 at one time enjoying the water while the outside temperature was still well below freezing," wrote an observer in Virginia. Drinking water is important for robins all year round. Robins travel in large flocks during the winter. You would never see so many robins sharing a bird bath like this during the summer breeding season. Robins become territorial then.
