High-Elevation Robins
The week brought several first sightings from high-elevation communities in the West. One observer was "very, very surprised" to see robins in Boulder Canyon. In Spring Creek Nevada, another wrote of an unusually mild winter, yet a later arrival for the robins. Scientists are curious, too. Read more about high-elevation robins in this report's Explore section!

"I saw male robin in lower area of my mountainous neighborhood. Our temps have not been typical this year. Very warm winter for the most part." Robin Clements     Park City, Utah     March 19, 2015
