Robins observed all week. We have many robins in our town that do not migrate. A resident of Cape Porpoise sees them all year long in her yard and at her feeders. We had one teacher from our school who lives in Wells count 23 robins in her backyard this week.

Robins observed all week. It snowed 6 inches this weekend and all the robins were hiding somewhere. The pine trees were damaged by heavy snow and now that is melting many vernal pools are full of fresh water.
