I’ve seen Robbins around our lawn sprinkler before… I’ll have to keep my camera more handy in case they show up again

    They are looking for worms. The watering makes them surface and the robins love to eat them.

      That’s good to know! We’re trying to get some seeds to start, so I’m not watering that deep. It seems like our first good spring rain drives out a bumper crop of worms - they’re all over the street. My kids enjoy going for a walk to collect them in a bucket to put them in our vegetable garden. That usually happens before the robins arrive though.
