Winter Robins Are Feeding
Winter is an important feeding time for robins. Males must eat enough to stay strong and reach the nesting areas early. Then they can claim and defend the best territories. They can attract females. Female robins must arrive healthy enough to lay eggs and raise the young of the next generation.

Winter robins go where food is. They will stay until it’s gone. Then they move in search of more. Their winter foods are berries, other fruits, and seeds. They find them on shrubs, trees, and vines.
