It was born late in the season and didn=E2=80=99t move away = until it=E2=80=99s fourth year. I have been watching for it since = Christmas. He liked really rotten juicy apples. I have a few in the = freezer for him just incase. If he were to come back this would be year = 7. He had a very distinct look about him. Also tapped my bathroom = window when the apples were gone. Maybe he is your bird. I=E2=80=99d = like to think so. Chances are slim but I got pretty attached to that = bird while he followed me about when I was gardening.=20 . .............................................................. From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca = [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Eleanor Lindsay Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 1:04 PM To: NatureNS Subject: EXTERNAL: [NatureNS] An out of season visitor.. I have been most surprised to see a robin around my feeding area several = times today; at no time did I see it eat, but it foraged around my = feeders which are hanging on apple trees amongst presently bare = multiflora branches and it drank several times at my heated birdbath. I = happened to have some rather elderly cranberries and put these out by = the birdbath, but so far no signs of their being eaten. How unusual is this and what are its chances of survival?
