"ROBINS IN SHAGELUK: Loud and TRUE!" came the happy news today from Innoko River School in Shageluk, Alaska—our northernmost observation post and the ones who waited the longest to see robins reach the end of their migration trail!
Robins are late at the end of the trail, but now nesting across much of their breeding range. It's time for the serious business of making new little robins. Thanks to all who reported their robins and helped us track their journey north!
