<DIV><FONT color=#000200 face=Cambria> Mine - West Como near

over St. Paul and see and hear lots of robins - have been since our early

more.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Has anybody noticed the decline in the robin
population? Our neighborhood has always been full of robins; the past
couple years their population has declined. And this year, there is barely
a robin in a 6 house radius from ours. There were more robins just before
the lawns got sprayed. Many people in our neighborhood spray their lawns
w/ non-organic weed killer. I’m not positive, but it sure seems
related. (and it makes sense since robins are ground
feeders.)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is anybody keeping data on robin populations? I would
like to become involved. Can anybody direct me to someone that can help me
get started.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Ps I remember that there used to be robins all over, I would
see robins on various lawns <B><I>everywhere</I></B>.<o:p></o:p></P>
