I do not recall in the past 10 years seeing so many, so hungry, and for this much time in the Gulf Coast region of Texas. Some were pastures. The students are worried about them as the ground is still covered with snow and still frozen. We haven't seen any worms. We thought it would be good to continue putting birdseed out for them.
People often say they see robins feeding in the birdseed.
Sometimes seeing isn't believing. If you look really closely at robins at a seed feeder, you see they aren't eating seeds. Birds of a Feather Flock Together. . . People do it too. We call it personal space, and scientists call it individual distance.
