In the fall and winter American Robins form large flocks and move into chaparral and mixed oak woodlands to feed on Christmas Berry, otherwise known as Toyon.
Tune into KRCB.org (104.9 FM Sonoma County) to listen for the current segment. Ear to the Wild is a short interstitial segment aired somewhat randomly throughout the day between other programs. They use shorts and postcards to fill airtime during breaks from Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Also during their music programing, as needed. Greta Mart tends to air them during her show around 4:47 or 5:47.
We are posting more soon, so please check back!
