This American robin, Turdus migratorius, is spending the winter in my Brooklyn garden. It is normal for some robins to not migrate south for winter. They switch from a diet of summer worms to dry fruit and berries. I give this one raisins, grapes, and apple slices. To read more about winter robins, click here for a previous detailed blog. |
"From
December to March,
there are for many of
us three gardens:
the garden
outdoors,
the garden of pots and bowls in the house,
and the garden of the
mind's eye.

It would be great if there are more people like you! I'm taking care of some pigeons during the winter.
