When I got home I put out some dried fruit and there are nuts in my bird feed as well as corn and sunflowers etc. I have not seen the Robin since. We have several foot of snow still before they can get to grass.
The Robin looks healthy enough though. I know there are plenty of fields outside of town that have been swept clear by the winds. So maybe he went off looking for better grub.
As you will see in the next picture taken by the photographers for the Glen Arbor web site..........the field is clear of snow and there are at least 125 deer feeding there. They know its not hunting season. So maybe my Robin heard of this?
Meanwhile my garden has snow up to the height of the fences and until it warms up a bit and the sun comes out that's not going to change very soon.

We saw loads of robins hopping around here and I have occasionally seen them eating the seed I put out. It snowed again last night but it wasn't a hard one and the roads are already clear.
I agree, poor robins! I have never seen one on a feeder! My mom always says, robins, don't go to the feeders. But, in this case, what can they do?
