American Robin Migration Update: March 11, 2003 (Data Only) Today's Report Includes:
This Week's American Robin Migration Maps and Data How would you like to see your first robin of spring while you're enjoying a winter sport? That's exactly what third grader Sheamus in Keswick, Ontario, did--he saw his first robin while snowboarding! Fred in Brighton, Ontario, noticed that "Some of the American Robins that appeared late last week may have been new arrivals. They were single birds in places where they had not been throughout the winter and were not associating with Cedar Waxwings, as was the wintering flock." And we even heard about one or two robins singing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, this week. But wintry weather slowed down first sightings a bit, so our map shows only a few new sightings. Robins will soon be on the move in a serious way. Keep your eyes and ears open for YOUR first robin!
