Observations, insights & sighting: Birds, quiet town and ONU

All About the Birds...No Bees
One local resident reported a flock of 50 robins near the railroad park downtown. A couple of days later another large group of robins was spotted elsewhere in Ada. So, this sent us to our computer to learn more about migration of the American robin. Are they arriving this early? It's the dead of winter, temps hovering around zero. Any robin in this territory would have trouble pulling a worm from the ground.

Seems that some robins stay in Ada all winter. When they do, it is common to find them in large flocks.
