It’s January in Chicago and several days in a row I’ve seen up to six Robins hagning out in a nearby tree. This contradicts my childhood learning that Robins are a sign that springtime has sprung.During spring and summer Robins are territorial while raising their young. When cooler weather arrives they change their nature and prefer to cluster in flocks. This behavior seems opposite of human behaviors. Copyright 2021 Pamela BreitbergI thought perhaps that climate change might contribute to Robins remaining in Chicago. But Chicago has very frigid temps so I needed to do research.

nice shots!
Thank you; my photography the past week or so has been restricted to what I see out my windows. Black ice is sadly not my friend!
Sometimes we have beauty even just outside the window that usually we don’t see 😉
