This year, relatively late in the breeding season, has produced a bumper crop of robins in our yard in NE Dublin, a Columbus suburb. We have had 20 - 25 immature robins constantly around the yard for the past week whereas in previous years only a few appeared. They are scavenging berries, scratching around the garden beds and generally making a mess.
