Thanks to all for educating me about robins - and to Marg for the
feeding tips!

He had a very distinct look about him. Also tapped my bathroom window when the apples were gone. Maybe he is your bird. I’d like to think so. Chances are slim but I got pretty attached to that bird while he followed me about when I was gardening.

I have been most surprised to see a robin around my feeding area several times today; at no time did I see it eat, but it foraged around my feeders which are hanging on apple trees amongst presently bare multiflora branches and it drank several times at my heated birdbath. I happened to have some rather elderly cranberries and put these out by the birdbath, but so far no signs of their being eaten.
How unusual is this and what are its chances of survival?
