I grew up in northeast Philadelphia, PA. We always had robins in our back yard and front lawn. I loved to dig in the dirt even back when I was very young. I dug up worms for the robins, but they would fly away from me! My husband and I moved to Southern California in 1986, and until this spring (2023), we had not seen any robins. I was delighted to see two in the orchard this Spring, in Piñon Hills. Friends are seeing them for the first time in this area this year, too. We're at 4,400 feet and had thought it was not the right environment for them. So glad they're here!
