I think the Robins have been a bit confused this year. I've had them through the winter. I even have a regular at the bird feeder. Apparently nobody told him that Robins don't feed at birdfeeders...not typically anyway.
I've got Robins and Mockingbirds who have taken to feeders too. The pair of Mockingbirds watch for me to enter the yard and fly right to the spot on a tree where I spread peanut butter, waiting no more than a foot from me. It's amazing! This has been going on for a couple of years now. One of the Mockers flew into my 2nd floor bedroom once via an open window but that's another story.
We live in Iowa and last year on Feb. 15, hundreds of robins came to our house. They stayed a few weeks. They would leave our area sometime in the am but always return around 6:10 pm each evening. I had never seen that before. We always see a few in the yards each spring but not flocks of them.
Yep, sounds like a lazy freeloadin DemocRobin.......
There was a whole flock of robins in my back yard this morning. I told them to go south and come back for worms in April.
