Index of Subjects Tuma - overwintering Robins have been on the move for the past couple of weeks, at least, in NB and NS as they move ahead of worstening feeding conditions and the snow and freezeup that exist to the north of us, although mostly not in NS. This is a common phenomenon at this time of year and leads to a lot of "first Robin of spring" comment in the press and elsewhere. Unfortunately it ain't so, but it is interesting to see how the flocks consolidate, enlarge, and move about from one food source to another in winter. It is not all that widely recognized how common overwintering Robins are, and how hardy they can be.
