Default How can robins live with snow on the ground?



I always thought that a robins diet consisted of insects. Imagine my
surprise of seeing a robin yesterday in Dayton, OH with 6'' of snow on
the ground!


Robins enjoy buggies and fruit. Believe it or not but there are lots of buggis
out there hibernating and such. They also enjoy raisins plumped up by boiling
them a short time. I just put a coffee cup with the raisins and water and nuke
for a minute. Providing open water in the winter is actually more important
then food.
