On Saturday I had my first sighting of Robins, which I thought to be amazingly early, especially for the coldest day of the Winter. There were about 5 of them pecking at the ground in my front lawn. This seems way too early.
First Robins of the year
- Thread starter imkms
- Start date
The last time I was down at Edwin B. Forsythe that was the main sight everything else was staying hidden from the cold winds But Robins?......... all over the place ,they are an astonishing bird, very resilient.
I saw my first Robins on friday while working in the Kensington section of Philly. They are very resilient birds!
Around here, robins stay all winter nowadays. Just like the messy Canadian geese. When I was a kid, you would only see geese in Spring and Fall. Must be due to the global warming.
No it's because of all the construction. Put in a retention pond and within a weeks time you have 100 of those filthy buggers. They need to have open season on them for about three or four years to reduce there numbers
Goose population
Where I work our parking lot is often crowded at night with Geese making it nearly impossible to walk thru the parking lot without stepping on the droppings left by so many geese. We tried using the Geese Police and their dogs, which was effective, but costly. We finally went to an electronic system which uses several well placed speakers and I believe simulates the sound of a goose in distress. This system works very well.
