Leaving the Hills

14 Comments

Hi! I’m Robbie Robin. I want to explain why I’m down here at the lower elevations.

It got darn cold up in the hills where we’ve been hanging out for several weeks. When a dusting of snow covered the ground and froze, it was harder to get the bugs and worms out of the ground. Most of the berries were already long gone.

So we decided to come down closer to sea level and check out the gardens and people’s back yards.

Did you count us? It’s a bit blurry but see how many of my friends you can find.

I’ve been here before so I got right down to it. I know the worms hide under the leaves that mulch the garden. Check it out and you’ll see how I find them.

Flicking dead leaves all around,

Until yummy bugs are found,

Eat them quick before they stray,

As they rush to get away.

    I love your video, Anneli! The robins sure know how to go right after their lunch! I’ve seen some around here too but haven’t gotten a great picture like yours. Cheers.

    What a nice, clear video. I’m not sure but, I think I counted nine beautiful robins.

      There is one more on the grass just near the top of the rosemary bush but it’s very blurry, and there is one on this side of the black pot that holds the bird bath (about a half inch from the bottom of the picture – that is the one I made the video of).

    Nice photo of the Robin. I’ve yet to see one. I hope it found some lunch.
