Earlier this morning, the weather maps showed your area getting hammered by rain, while we were getting a blizzard, and just north of the snow/rain line.
Hundreds of Robins descended on the Crabapple trees next door, and stripped them clean; an amazing sight. Since Robins and other native birds don’t migrate, and just winter-over in the deep woods, it seems like they’re a little early, as I remember from previous years.
Robins won’t even light on my feeder. They just hang out under it scavenging for what others spill. I don’t know why?
