Thank you Don Davis Toronto, ON ----------------------------------------------------- Robin Round-up: Where ARE Robins in Winter? Where are robins spending the winter of 2008? Let's find out! It's time to take attendance. Please join our Winter Robin Round-up Feb. 5-18)! Here's what to do: Go outside and look for robins. Ask your neighbors if they have seen robins. Contact your friends and relatives in other parts of North America. Ask everybody you know to help you look for robins. Then report your results by February 18 by clicking the word "Sightings" on the navigation bar (on the Journey North website link noted above). Together we'll all answer the question as we make our Winter Robin Round-up Map starting NOW. ************************************************************ Good digital photos of winter robin sightings - for posting to this non-profit site are also appreciated. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
