Ge1836, we have a fair number of Robins that winter over in our yard, but the other day we had our first group of returning ones. They arrived as a big group and looked like a band of maurders marching across the yard. These will most likely not be staying here, but heading further north for the summer. Except for a few weeks in spring we have a pretty constant number. There is a huge group of Robins that winter over on the Cape near Hyannis that at the Winter Bird Count in Dec was suppose to be over 80,000 Robins. That is a lot of Robins living on the Cape for the winter, poor worms! We buy our thistle seed at Job lot. 25 lbs for $25.00 which is the cheapest I have found. It is so nice to hear them all singing on this beautiful sunny morning. Patti
