I guess I’ll add to this mystery. We have them in our yard every winter—in Dec 2022 we had 18 as a high count—but none this winter so far. And nary a robin visited our big cotoneaster this fall/winter, perhaps a first ever for that.

There seem to be three individuals hanging about. Typical for a winter here is 4-5 (high is 7), and the group arrived a couple of weeks later than typical but they’re now here. Also, it’s not at all unusual for an individual or two to show up first and scope out the place before the others arrive, so this seems to now be a typical year shifted by a couple of weeks. >> >> chuq >> >> >> --------------------------------------- >> >> Chuq Von Rospach (http://www.chuq.me <http://www.chuq.me/>) >> Silverdale, Washington >> Birder, Nature and Wildlife Photographer >> >> Email me at: <chuqvr...> <mailto:<chuqvr...> >> Mastodon: @<chuqvr...> <mailto:<chuqvr...> >> >> Stay Updated with what I'm doing: https://www.chuq.me/6fps/ <https://www.chuq.me/6fps/> >> My latest e-book: https://www.chuq.me/ebooks <https://www.chuq.me/ebooks> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Tweeters mailing list >> <Tweeters...> <mailto:<Tweeters...> >> http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters <http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters> > _______________________________________________ > Tweeters mailing list > <Tweeters...> <mailto:<Tweeters...> > http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters <http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters> > _______________________________________________ > Tweeters mailing list > <Tweeters...> <mailto:<Tweeters...> > http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters <http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters> > _______________________________________________ > Tweeters mailing list > <Tweeters...> > http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters _______________________________________________ Tweeters mailing list <Tweeters...> http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/tweeters
