This Morning Outsideby Diane PorterNov. 28, 2014 Most robins who nest in the Midwest slide on southward for the winter, but a few remain. This one may be a Canadian nester who has come just as far south as Iowa to spend the winter. American robins, like most songbirds, get new feathers after the breeding season ends. Just look at those wings. The feathers are outlined with crisp, paler edges, un-frayed and un-nicked. Like a sharp new coat for winter, with no scuffs and no missing buttons.
