some rooms stay in our area. If you live in one of these areas, how can you tell if the robin outside your window is newly arrived?

Since robins usually migrate in groups and there is a group of robins outside, chances are that this is one of those flocks passing through. Also look to see the condition of the robins. If you see fat healthy birds, again these birds probably have spent the winter further south where the food supply is better during the winter months.

Robins have survived blinding blizzards, ice storms, and nights as cold as 30 below zero without human help. Regardless of how cold it is on the outside of their feathers, their body temperature under the feathers is about 104 degrees. Their thick down feathers hold body heat in, they produce body heat by shivering, and they get the energy to shiver from their food.
