But what robbins really ' like is to feed in the moist, ; short grass that comes in the .' spring. You'll find that robins con ' gregate in the cities during the day because of the lawns, ' and dash to secluded "roost .' lng" areas at night during . the winter. In the spring, ;' night finds them on or near '. the nest, according to Dr. , Robert M. Storm, Oregon . State college associate pro. :' lessor of zoology. The most common robin In . Oregon is the Western robin. But, the Northwestern robin, - which is darker and has white " tips on the outer tail f eath , ers, makes a winter visit. ! Usually Nest Twice Robins usually nest twice ." during a nesting season, lay I ing 3 or 4 eggs each time. Female robins do all the nest building and incubating, but the males help teed the ? young ; The young robin is ready to leave the nest two weeks ' after hatching, and at that " time he eats 14 feet of earth , worms a day. Robins mate for a single . mating season and then switch partners. A pair of I nesting robins plays "king of the mountain" over terri . tory three-tenths of an acre : around its nest. This is to J protect the young from being bothered by other birds and . It leaves enough room to , gather nesting material and food. Even though robins have I protected feeding areas ; around 'individual nests, they , also have neutral feeding ter- rltorles established, Dr. . Storm said. Return to Area '. Robins usually return to 1 the same general area each year to nest, and mav even " use the same nest by rcpair- ; Ing it. But it is not certain that either one of the orlg. ,' inal pair of robins returns - to the same nest, Highest robin population is In late May and June when ' the young have hatched. For the two square miles In the j corvaius city limits, Dr, Storm estimates the robin ! population at 10,000 In eastern Oregon, robins can be found in residential areas where there are lawns. Robins are scarce in the mountains, but can be seen in mountain meadows in the lush grassy areas. Robins are considered a friendly bird. Main diet Is earthworms, but they also eat a lot of insects. Only com plaint about robins is the temporary nuisance' tney can be during cnerry ana berry season. Robins Migrate Studies show that robins migrate up to 1,000 miles away from home base during the winter. Some robins, the zoologists believe, stay around the same location the year- round. One night-time winter roost ing area for robins was found on the OSC campus last Feb ruary in the dense shrubbery by the women's athletic field. Dr. Storm estimated there were 8,000 birds In this one flock. They settled at early nightfall and scattered to feed before daylight. Robins snuggle together on the night "roosts" like chick- 4-H Club News Central Point Clubs The meeting of the Centrel Point General club which was attended by the members of the Antelope club, their par ents, and Glenn Klein.
