From the Stump: Seeing robins in winter the new norm

I remember when seeing a robin in the winter was an oddity. McCormac told me there is a reason why winter robins are common now, and it's something that is not necessarily good for the birds.

He said all the fruit-bearing, non-native ornamental trees and plants we landscape with cause some robins to stay put instead of migrating far enough south to escape our often-brutal winters.
