One pair nests each year on my porch light. They are not competative for nesting material, food or bathing. It is not uncommon to see 6 or more working in the same bed. Some years there is a second nesting in late July/early August.

I was surprised because all the other robins have migrated. This area has had sub-zero temps and snow in December, even though now the temps have fluctuated up to 60 or so. Why would this bird stay in Colorado when the rest of the robins have migrated to warmer areas? How does it survive? Neutral Grasmussen On Jan 8, 2009, Grasmussen from Anchorage, AK (Zone 4a) wrote: Surprising as it may seem, not all Robins migrate south in the winter. Normally, a few Robins over winter here in Anchorage, Alaska. They can survive temperatures lower than 20 below zero Fahrenheit.
