To explore other "requests for information," check the MOS web site: I'm writing from the Journey North Headquarters in Minnesota to ask your help in tracking the robin migration. Sharing this request with your Bird Chatters would be much appreciated. Journey North is a non-profit educational project that engages school age children in the study of global migrations. Our students report sightings of many migrating animals to our Web site. Your sightings added to our map would create better patterns for migration studies. Upon sighting robins in your area, please contact me promptly with the location and date. We are interested in: *Robin (first SEEN) *Robin (first HEARD singing) *Robin (wave SEEN) *Robin (OTHER observations) We will value any sighting reports you are able to make. Happy birding!!
