Spring Turns to Summer
Another Great Spring Season
Spring is winding down and summer is just a few weeks away. We hope these migration updates have provided you a sense of joy and wonder. Please know that your reports provide valuable information and paint a real-time picture of migration as American Robins move northward, establish territories, build nests, and rear clutches of eggs. Thank you for following along and sharing your observations.
Signs of Nesting Season Abound
Nesting behavior is still being widely reported. Keep your eyes peeled for nests, eggs, nestlings, and fledglings!
Stacey in Union, ME: "There are two active nests. One in a pine tree and one under the deck. Both nests appear to be incubating now. The photo was the male feeding the female in the pine tree nest." (05/25/2022)
Patrick in Broomfield, CO: "4 baby siblings napping together. I believe they are 1 week old." (05/29/2022)
Mark in Marysville, OH: "We have two Robin fledglings." (06/02/2022)
Summer Reporting
While news updates are ending for the season, you can still report nesting behavior and general observations of American Robins until the end of July. You can also participate in other Journey North projects such as monarch butterflies and hummingbirds throughout early summer.
