[SBB] influx of robins

["Ann H." <[[email protected]]>]

For the last approx 2 weeks, we've had an influx of robins around

my house in Los Altos.  When I go outside approx 7:15/8 am,

there's a flock of 50 or so in the Chinese pistache trees

eating berries, chasing each other, perching in the Modesto ash,

calling loudly back and forth, etc. I've seen a few flocks of cedar

waxwings fly overhead, but they haven't flocked to the yard.

 

Around 8:30, the robins line up at my birdbath--4 on the bath,

4 or 5 perched in the tree awaiting a turn, and others on the

wire or nearby trees thinking about a bath.  They've given

me great amusement, watching robins bathe while I'm

listening to a phone conference!!!  ;-)  And then--the robins

depart for parts unknown.

 

usually we'll have flights come thru, but leave after a while...

wonder how long these guys will stay.
