There are a bunch of microhabitats on campus, but every time I saw robins, they were in a buckthorn scrap with fruiting trees. I have to think they were eating the berries given my persistent sightings of robins in buckthorn.AmyRieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784951149677756797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483269154778175081.post-82774985794659289422022-10-05T15:04:26.691-04:002022-10-05T15:04:26.691-04:00I'm a little late in see this,.
