bigcityal - have you noticed a difference in color on the robins that winter over in WI? The bird on the right has the red breast I'm used to seeing. The bird on the left - the one that was in my yard yesterday - has a deep rusty colored breast. Also, even though it doesn't show in this picture, the "summer" robin has a yellow ring around its eye. These "winter" robins have a white ring around the eye. Have we got two kinds of robins?
