Winter Menu
Snow may cover the ground, but robins find food in trees. Summer's leftover fruit becomes a robin's winter diet. In winter, hungry flocks may appear suddenly on berry-filled trees. The robins feast on the fruit until the tree is bare. Winter robins go where the food is and stay until it's gone.
"We have seen and heard robins throughout the winter. We live in a rural wooded area, near a pond with a stream. They have water, and there are many winter berry bushes in the area."
