The American Robin (Turdus migratorius). Wikipedia calls this a migratory bird. But that is certainly not the case with many of them. This morning 15 or 20 of them showed up at my little pond and bird bath as they often do year round. Quite the gathering.
During the autumn and winter they roam in large groups looking for berries and other wild fruits to satisfy their needs. Spring and summer they dine on a wide variety of invertebrates, including the one that I think of right away when I think of Robins, earthworms.

They may have flocked in from Central PA or Southern New England, nobody said that have to be hemispheric sized migrations, just leave some areas for more benign ones. IMHO.
Hi Ken,
I’ve thought in the past that it would be helpful to ask my critter friends to wear name tags. Perhaps that would help me know where they are from.
Sending holiday best wishes
And thanks for reading my posts!
