The first Robin of the
season came to the crab apple - /Malus baccata - /(a species crab
apple)/ /to-day.
Time of day was 9:00 (a.m.)
Weather was cloudy with snow flurries , temp - 5 C and winds were
gusting to 40 kms /hr from the west and perhaps a bit south of west
but not so far south as SW.
The location of the tree is south of a white Spruce hedge row so
partially sheltered from the winds.
The location is the west half of lot 16 Conc 2
(West) Zorra Twp in
Oxford County.
Lat N 43 degrees 9 minutes and 55 seconds, West 80 degrees 58 minutes
30 seconds.
We are not on or near any big modifying body of water so migrants
are usually slower to arrive here than on the north shore of the
lakes.
