I live in north central Texas about 5 miles from the Red River. A few years back, we had a solid week of very cold, snowy, icy days in February. I had quite a few bird feeders out that I would fill several times a day. I had one I'd fill with meal worms for the wrens and bluebirds. I saw one lonely female Robin and she watched me closely I put meal worms on the snow under one of the feeders. After I moved away, she came over and ate them. She would come every morning and evening the whole week and wait patiently while I put the meal worms out just for her on the same spot on the ground. Once it warmed up, and the snow and ice melted, I didn't see her anymore. I sure enjoyed that encounter. Late February every year I hear and then see quite a few Robins on my acreage.
