**A very interesting comment from Leigh
Eaton, who is in Florida at the moment. In perusing Leigh’s comments, remember
that AMERICAN ROBINS [Merle d'Amérique] who have not overwintered with us will
start arriving back here in latter March – so think spring! Lee comments, “A
year ago today, our back yard in Cocoa, Florida was inundated with American
Robins, and they are apparently on the same schedule. Again this year, all
afternoon on Saturday, dozens of Robins were flying back and forth, being very
vocal.” Leigh assumes they are fueling up for the long flight to the Maritimes.
Leigh comments the last few days have been cool in Florida, but reports
indicate warmer weather ahead.
**Brian Stone had a lone American Robin
visit his Moncton yard Mountain-ash tree
[Sorbier des oiseaux] on Friday. He normally has a flock of Robins that clean
that particular tree earlier in the season. It is a very sharply-attired male,
looking very ready for spring, so hopefully it’s a scout checking out food
sources for its overwintering kin.
