Robins Like Green Lawn During Spring,
Oregon State College Zoologist Finds
Cor va His - When spring
comes, it's also time for the
' red, red robin to come bob,
bob, bobbing along.
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-
