Robins in Etna too. working over the the crabapples. Last weekend all in the same crabapple at onetime were wild turkey, robin, jay, EVGR and a waxwing. Usually the presence of the turkeys keeps all other away but at -26, intimidation was not going to rule the day... I have successfully fenced the flock of turkeys off of my platform feeders. Last year was an absolute fiasco at my place. 35+ all winter, needless to say it got out of hand.....roosting on the roof, deck rails, etc.....the last of them left in May.
