Goodness - but the Robins in my backyard are MASSIVE.
Have to look twice to make sure there aren't chickens running around out there. And so many of them.
They certainly must be eating well.
Or - could it be the somewhat close proximity to the Lawrence Livermore Lab?
:scared: :nuke:

3. I just noticed a female cardinal in mine that was really fat.
But that's because I'm feeding them. I slop them daily, lol. Robins are some fat-looking birds too. I'm glad so many people take care to feed these birds during the winter time. What is the Lawrence Livermore Lab? Is it nuclear?

4. A big group I saw yesterday
were really big also.
The wierd thing was their location.
At the location where I saw them there is a grassy strip in front o several business's that is about 30 or 40 feet wide and runs the length of the block.

The robins were all hanging out in front of the Zen Center.

Not in front of the other businesses.
Just the Zen Center.

I thought that was kinda cool.
