Preserving a Legacy

For 30 years, Journey North volunteers have heralded the arrivals and departures of migratory wildlife.

• Living in Flocks: Robins in winter are found from north to south. Some robins are basking in south Texas and Florida while others are enduring the hardships of the northern winter. Many robins are somewhere in between. As long as they can find fruits or berries, some may stay close to their summer areas even in fall and winter. Because they move in search of food, robins are not as faithful to their wintering grounds as most other songbirds. Winter robins wander in flocks.

Various robin species exhibit unique migration patterns. While some embark on extensive journeys, traversing continents and even oceans, others follow shorter routes. The timing of their migration is influenced by factors such as climate conditions and food availability.
