February flock of American Robins in Holland Landing...

Not all American Robins go south for the winter.   My friend Doreen from Holland Landing spotted a flock of them in her backyard this week.   They are among hundreds of robins in York Region that over-winter here, feeding mostly on tree and shrub berries, as well as assorted offerings at residential winter bird feeders.  They also need open water to drink wherever they can find it.  Global warming seems to be prompting more of these traditional spring birds to flock together  in the winter along the American/Canadian border particularly in the Great Lakes region.
Please comment if you wish.
