Highlights: Wandering Robins

From Florida to Alaska and coast to coast, citizen scientists reported seeing robins during January. Waves of more than 1,000 robins were reported in West Virginia, Florida, California and Missouri! Are you seeing robins?

"We saw a ton of robins. We are guessing 100 birds but it could have been more. They are roosting together in the Holly tree at night and flying to trees nearby in the day."

Maps: What and How to Report

We begin our 22nd season with a mid-winter survey to assess where robins are present before migration begins. Discover how to watch for and report wintering robins, first robins, 'waves' of migrating robins, first singing robins, first earthworms, and nesting behaviors.
