Winter Robin Round-Up: February 3 - February 16, 1998 How to Participate 1. Go outside and look for robins. Ask your neighbors if they have sighted robins. Contact your friends and relatives in other parts of North America. Ask everybody you know to help you look for robins! Report Your Robin Sightings to Journey North! 2. When you spot a robin, send your field observations to Journey North. Simply press the blue button to the left labeled, "Report Your Sightings" and a Field Data form will appear. 3. Remember, you have until February 16th, 1998 to collect your sightings! 4. On February 17th we'll post a map and data summary for you. We'll also give you last winter's Winter Robin Round-Up data, so you can compare the results. Thank you for your help!! Challenge Question #1 While waiting for the results, see if you can answer this Challenge Question: Challenge Question #1 "Where do you think the robins that breed in your state or province go for the winter?
