The Adventures of Robin Hood!

Robin Hood at Julie's feeder.

Every year Journey North's Julie Brophy pays special attention to her backyard robins. One robin in particular is dear to Julie. Robin Hood has been coming to her yard for three years in a row. Julie feeds him mealworms and fruits, and Robin Hood knows how to get her attention when he's hungry. This year we'll follow Julie and Robin Hood's exploits in her Field Notes. She'll share some of her field notes about Robin Hood, and we'll learn more about how we, too, can find a special robin in our own backyards.


Try This!
Watch your own backyard robins. If you can get a supply of mealworms, earthworms, or berries, see if you can attract some of your robins to a special feeder. Take notes about what you see. Share photos and notes with us!
