American Robins
Large flocks of American Robin can be seen throughout the maritime forest and in the compound. Although it is not uncommon for robins to overwinter here or even farther north, they have only just appeared this year, suggesting that they have spent the winter farther south and are only beginning to move back northward. In summer months the robins feed heavily on insects and worms; they also feed extensively on berries or other wild fruits, especially in the winter months. Regardless of where the robins have been, it seems like there is nothing more Springlike than hearing the cheery call of these common but beautiful thrushes.
