Robins have never left

Like a lot of people, I had always accepted the myth that robins left this area when winter came, and returned once snow ended. The fine folks at Nixon County Park corrected me, and said our red-breasted friends are indeed here all year. Not all of them, but some just head into the woods to find shelter from winter storms.

This robin was one of probably two dozen that descended on a lawn in Springettsbury Township. They always seem to have a quizzical look and this one might have wondered, like many of us, where winter went. Or when the snow will begin.
