Robins have been wintering in my area for the past 5 years! I first observed them on a cold, snowy day -- I couldn't believe my eyes! Since then, I've observed, each subsequent winter -- robins digging in leaves left over from the fall - singing in my woods - drinking from the creek running through them. I was initially amazed at this observation -- because my family used to have a "first robin sighting" contest each spring. And usually, the first sighting was some time late in March. This year we've had a harsh winter. But the robins still stayed around. On my way home from work yesterday, there was a fat robin sitting in the middle of a snowy puddle - taking a bath.
