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.)
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.

Ps I remember that there used to be robins all over, I would see robins on
various lawns everywhere.
