[mou-net] Robins??

[ericaforman79]

It dawned on me the other day that I haven't noticed that many robins in the 
last few weeks. There's a hill next to my house where they usually hang around. 
I haven't seen them there for a while - probably since July. Anyone else 
experiencing this? I haven't even heard them singing in a long time. I'm in 
Hopkins. Maybe it's just my neighborhood...Erica Forman Hopkins, MN Sent from

[Susan Tertell]

There are a lot of hackberries and crabapples in my neighborhood, so the
robins have been hanging around all winter.  I have a heated birdbath, and
the last couple of weeks it has just been flooded with robins - one time I
counted 19 in and near the birdbath, and more in nearby trees.  The only
downside is that they poop in the birdbath a lot so it requires daily
cleaning - hard in the cold weather!

Why are there so many still hanging around? I wouldn’t quite call it a flock

[mou-net] Robins back singing again

[mou-net] robins in Ramsey

[psitz]

There was a small flock (5 or 6) of robins in the yard today.  I have been
seeing consistently large flocks of siskens at the feeders (20-30), but no
redpolls.  Has anyone been seeing redpolls?

Re: [mou-net] robins

[Bruce Fall]

There is a huge winter robin roost at the Univ. of St. Thomas, St. Paul 
(Ramsey Co.). Birds spend the night in a small grove of conifers at the 
west end of the O’Shaughnessy Science Hall on the south side of Summit 
Ave., about a block west of Cretin. Sunday evening (1/8), Susan and I 
censused them as they streamed in to the roost, and totaled an 
impressive 2,525 birds. I'm sure that we missed some, and we will try 
another census soon. Robins arrived at the roost continuously from 4:30 
to 5:05 p.m., most from the north and northwest (from Shadow Falls 
ravine), and somewhat fewer from the south and southeast across the 
parking lot. As we drove there, we saw small flocks on the Minneapolis 
side flying across the river toward Summit and I think it's likely that 
some are coming from miles away to reach this roost. Two winters ago 
(2015-16) there was another big robin roost near Lake Hiawatha in 
Minneapolis that I monitored, with a peak count of 1,450 birds, but that 
roost apparently was not used last winter or this one.

We have had a flock of several robins at 49th and Washburn Ave S, Mpls and
I've seen them elsewhere in the neighborhood, too. There are several
hackberry trees here.

[mou-net] Robins

[Jim Mork]

I live in S. Minneapolis.  Early this morning, the cardinals were singing 
nearby.  I looked at my watch, and then it occurred to me: During the warmer 
months, I always know what time it is because robins are at it.  So, now I'm 
wondering if it is too early for robins to be here.  At least here in the 
city.  Maybe they show up outside the core and then filter in.  So, anyone 
waking up to robin chirps at 3:30 or 4:00 am?

Well, then any day, I just know I'm going to hear it in the wee hours.  True is 
that is when I notice it the  most.  Used to have terrible terrible insomnia 
problems, and I knew the night was almost shot when the robins would tell me.  
Sometimes I actually thought I was dreaming that song.

[mou-net] Robins and robins and robins

[Thomas Maiello]

Have had an impressive wave of robins all morning.  Over half are  
immature.  Numbers are hard to estimate but perhaps 30-40 with an  
occasional Blue Jay mixed in.  I have not had any robins all summer  
nor jays.  The Cooper's family was calling again this morning also  
after a brief respite of a week or two.  Have had several warbler  
waves over the last week but the fair has been distracting as of  
late.  The hardest part of robin waves is my compulsion to check out  
each one to make sure I don't miss a lifer Varied Thrust.  Some have  
been close but nothing to claim.

Re: [mou-net] Robins and robins and robins (with a question added)

[jtanamachi]

When I volunteered at the MOU Booth at the Fair on Saturday evening, there were 
a couple of questions from the public about whether the robins had already 
migrated since they seem pretty scarce lately. We assured people that they were 
still around but that their feeding habits had perhaps made them harder to see. 

Yesterday afternoon, my husband and I were walking across the Stone Arch Bridge 
in Mpls. We saw 100+ robins, both mature and juveniles, near the southeast 
Mpls. end of the bridge. We have often encountered robins along the 
Mississippi Mile in that vicinity during the cold season. I'd be interested 
in why they are flocking together now so far before the beginning of freeze-up. 
Anyone have any ideas?

[mou-net] Robins in Forest Lake, Washington Co.

[Holly Peirson]

Thursday AM there were quite a few Robins in the bushes next to the Forest
Lake High School parking lot. Small flock, perhaps 5-10. Ah, Spring!

Holly Peirson
Columbus, Anoka Co.

Have been feeding quite a nice mixed flock of siskins and goldfinches for
the last couple of months... 50 +/- birds a day descend upon the nyger
feeder. It doesn't LOOK like that many until I let the dog out and the rest
fly up from whatever tree branch they've been resting on!

[mou-net] Robins (Blue Earth, Nicollet Counties) also owls and magpies (Lake of Woods County)

[premierpets]

Greetings,
??? I was down in Mankato yesterday (Dec. 29) and at 4:48 till 5:03 I sat 
along side north river drive where Hwy 169 and Hwy 14 meet and seen something I 
have never witnessed in the dead of winter. I counted conservatively 1183 
robins flying over my vehicle presumably heading for a roosting area.? I have 
been seeing robins (flock of 3-8)?at my house (Nowthen, Anoka county)?nearly 
everyday but it is to be expected as the berry crops are very healthy this 
year. In the north metro I have seen mountain ash and crab apple that are full 
of berries and have not been touched. In fact I had a couple bluebirds stay 
until about 2 weeks ago.

I know this is a late post with the holidays I have been going non-stop, I was 
in Beltrami and Lake of The Woods Counties on December 23.? I was able to 
find?3 Magpies at?a farm in Waskish?and 42 snow buntings. I did not have much 
time as the red lake walleye decided to bite only during the day. So I put in 3 
hours of driving around in the blowing snow looking for birds.? While driving 
up Hwy 72 I seen another Magpie (mm 52), 3 Northern Hawk Owls (mm 44,mm 53,mm 
56), 2 northern shrike, more snow buntings, lots of redpolls, and what I 
thought most interesting at mm 42 two Common Grackles looking for some open 
water in the ditch on the east side of the road.? All in all I was happy with 
what I was able to find but want to get up there again to spend a couple days 
birding.


Have A Blessed New Year,
Good Birding To All,
Nowthen, (Anoka County)
