American robins on 2/25/15 in Mission Viejo -- Photo by J.J. Meyer |
Two days ago, just after I had turned off the fountain for the evening, we were visited by a flock of robins at dusk. At one point, there were nine bathing and drinking. I turned to Cornell's Birds of North America to investigate if they were migratory.
I found that robins live in California year-round. But there are also migrating robins that have wintered in Mexico and Central America that move northward through California in February.
Happy Birding!

Lovely picture! We have one or more American Robins in our Newport Beach neighborhood year round. I hear them more often than I see them.
