Category Archives: Winter food berries and wild fruits

One Of Many

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius). Wikipedia calls this a migratory bird. But that is certainly not the case with many of them. This morning 15 or 20 of them showed up at my little pond and bird bath as they often do year round. Quite the gathering.

During the autumn and winter they roam in large groups looking for berries and other wild fruits to satisfy their needs. Spring and summer they dine on a wide variety of invertebrates, including the one that I think of right away when I think of Robins, earthworms.
